- * MSVC has no C99 support, and thus it cannot be used to

- * from MSVC, so we need to define the required standard
- * integer types here.
+ * MSVC versions older than 2013 have no C99 support, and
+ * thus they cannot be used to compile liblzma. Using an
+ * existing liblzma.dll with old MSVC can work though(*),
+ * but we need to define the required standard integer
+ * types here in a MSVC-specific way.
+ *
+ * (*) If you do this, the existing liblzma.dll probably uses
+ * a different runtime library than your MSVC-built
+ * application. Mixing runtimes is generally bad, but
+ * in this case it should work as long as you avoid
+ * the few rarely-needed liblzma functions that allocate
+ * memory and expect the caller to free it using free().
