Description:
The current mysql-6.0-backup tree does not compile on Windows Vista using Visual Studio 2008 Professional. The following errors are generated:

1>backup_info.cc
1>.\backup_info.cc(185) : error C2121: '#' : invalid character : possibly the result of a macro expansion
1>.\backup_info.cc(185) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'ifdef'
1>.\backup_info.cc(185) : error C2065: 'ifdef' : undeclared identifier
1>.\backup_info.cc(185) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'WITH_MARIA_STORAGE_ENGINE'
1>.\backup_info.cc(185) : error C2065: 'WITH_MARIA_STORAGE_ENGINE' : undeclared identifier
1>.\backup_info.cc(185) : error C2121: '#' : invalid character : possibly the result of a macro expansion
1>.\backup_info.cc(185) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'endif'
1>.\backup_info.cc(185) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'
1>.\backup_info.cc(185) : error C2065: 'endif' : undeclared identifier
1>.\backup_info.cc(185) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'hton'

How to repeat:
Build the latest tree on Windows with VS 2008 Pro in debug with:

win\configure WITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_PARTITION_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_ARCHIVE_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_BLACKHOLE_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_EXAMPLE_STORAGE_ENGINE WITH_FEDERATED_STORAGE_ENGINE __NT__  EXTRA_DEBUG ENABLED_DEBUG_SYNC BACKUP_TEST

devenv.com mysql.sln /build Debug

Suggested fix:
The problem is the macro definition. This is disrupting the precompiler on Windows VS 2008 Pro. A solution that works on both Windows and Linux is shown below:

Here is an alternative fix which avoids code repetition.
