Why are you being so difficult to work with here?

OpenSM 3.2.? added the value to umad.h file and referenced it in osm_vendor_umad.c.

If you have issues with the code, then take it up with those who wrote the code and stop impeding forward progress of getting a sorely needed newer revision of OpenSM to the Windows community.

If Sasha & company decide it's the right thing to change, then we can adjust the Windows code at that time.
