if  y  is const   it might :)
but then it might, only if it was C++ and strict ANSI was off.
ah!  but its in the /src/win folder which means its only likely to get 
compiled by either mingw or msvc
both of which *should* be able to interpret const int into a switch, but 
the int must be >0 so maybe it would be a warning.
anyway, i get the point.
