Description
VC6 compiler would give a syntax error ";" for line 89:
const char *gScummVMFeatures =
as it has preprocessor definitions directly following it (The compiler isn't smart and gets confused.)
Adding empty double quotes would fix this.
const char *gScummVMFeatures = ""

The compiler never gets to see preprocessor statements, they are removed by the preprocessor before the data is fed into the compiler.
However, there *is* an issue here, namely if non of the USE_* flags is specified, then we end up with illegal code (which is probably what you are seeing).

I definitely gave a bad description. I had none of the USE_* flags specified, so the compiler tried to compile the line
const char *gScummVMFeatures = ;
and that, as you said, is indeed illegal code. Ah, well. Do with it what you will. :-)
