[ofw] patch: [complib] Allow the timer to work with windows 2003

[Tzachi Dar]

So we are talking about something like:

#if WINVER >= 0x600
#define CL_MAX_TIME INFINITE
#else
#define CL_MAX_TIME 0xFFFFFFFE
#endif

By the way, there is nothing in the ChangeTimerQueueTimer docs that says that it can really wait for infinite time.

Thanks
Tzachi

Can we make the FFFFFFFE define only happen on Windows Server 2003, and use the INFINITE value for the newer operating systems?

It seems that windows 2003 timer does not work with a period of 0xffffffff. The workaround is to use the constant 0xfffffffe instead.

In order to verify us, you can try running the following program on 2003 and on 2008.
