as of 2.4.6, the NO_STREAMS directive no longer has any effect.  if you want to
turn off streams when using galib with visual studio, comment the
GALIB_USE_STREAMS line in the visual studio section of gaconfig.h.

apologies for not making it easier to control the galib options from a project
file, but i find that modifying gaconfig.h will result in fewer errors than
having to set the macros in each project file.

i did no testing with the precompiled header option of visual studio enabled. 
whenever i have used the precompiled headers in visual studio, i get (re)linkage
problems, especially when i am making fast and furious changes to the code. 
when precompiled headers are turned off, the builds take (slightly) longer, but
at least i know that the code i am running is the code that i wrote.

try disabling the use of precompiled headers when you build galib (i think it is
the /YX option that enables precompiled headers, don't know what disables it)
