By the way, if you look at scream_and_die() and wonder why I’ve badly overcomplicated it, it’s because a previous version presented a printf-like interface to its callers.  In stages, the callers stopped using it that way, and the function itself evolved to where it couldn’t do printf-like things anyway.

This simpler replacement suffices now:

void scream_and_die(const char* complaint)
{
    LPTSTR syserr = 0;
    FormatMessage(FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM |
            FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, 0, GetLastError(),
            MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT),
            (LPTSTR)&syserr, 0, 0);
    fprintf(stderr, "%s: %s (0x%x)\n", complaint, syserr, GetLastError());
    exit(1);
}
