I had worked a bit on Win32 Ekiga some time ago when it was still using 
SDL video output. From that time I knew by reading libsdl's source code 
that they were using a similar redefinition of main. Additionally I 
looked at the source code of Mingw runtime and there it says
  /*
   * Call the main function. If the user does not supply one
   * the one in the 'libmingw32.a' library will be linked in, and
   * that one calls WinMain. See main.c in the 'lib' dir
   * for more details.
   */
So I let the preprocessor give main some other name and WinMain is 
called after the C-library has been initialized and returns there for 
finalizing things.
As to your segfault while linking - sorry, but I have no idea.
