Patch for compiling Snappy with MSVC on Windows about snappy HOT 3 CLOSED

Sorry but I did not mean a minor glitch, but actually a compiler error.  The 
above patch allows a successful compilation.

Hi,

This has been discussed in previous bugs; the short version is that your 
config.h file is expected to supply this macro, not snappy.h. This patch would 
be wrong for MinGW, and in general, we try to avoid too many compiler-specific 
incantations outside config.h, which is where they belong.

Ah, I see, sorry.  At any rate, in case anyone else finds this report, the next 
patch works well in both MSVC and MINGW setups:
