/Usymbol undefines a specific symbol
/u (lowercase u) turns off every previously defined symbol

"Neither of these options can be used to undefine symbols created with
the #define directive. Both options turn off the following
Microsoft-specific macros:"

_CHAR_UNSIGNED
_CPPRTTI
_CPPUNWIND
_DLL
_M_IX86
_MSC_VER
_WIN32
_MT

Seems kinda wierd to me that -Ufoobar will also cause _WIN32 to become
undefined, but that's what the docs say.
