Page 181, section 8.3.2 of the "Microsoft C 5.1 Optimizing Compiler
User's Guide" incorrectly lists max and min as functions that have
intrinsic forms.

As correctly noted in the "Microsoft C 5.1 Optimizing Compiler
Run-Time Library Reference" on Pages 413 and 429, max and min are
macros defined in the include file stdlib.h.
