Fwd: Re: Small fix needed to compile NTFS in Linux 2.4.9

[Juan Jose Comellas <juanjo@comellas.org>]

In case anyone needs to compile the current kernel in CVS (2.4.9) including 
the NTFS filesystem you'll have to make the following change to the file 
linux/fs/ntfs/unistr.c.

Yes, known problem. This happened because someone changed all min/max
macros to be global macros throughout the kernel but while doing this
forgot to add this include to ntfs/unistr.c...

Thanks,
