Makes sense. IDC_STATIC is an application specific resource ID in
MSVC-land. MSVC projects with GUI dialogs and such define controls
with particular IDs to identify them. IDC_STATIC is a common resource
ID for static text in this context. It would be defined in the specific
resource.h include file for a particular project that used static resource
controls. It doesn't need to be defined outside the scope of the
particular source that uses the definition. So removing it's definition
from winuser.h is definitely the correct approach.
