Hi!  This patch has the same problem as the last three patches that
did this: it doesn't keep backward compatibility with existing code
that uses the old names.  We try very hard not to change source APIs
in ways that will break correct code that worked before.

Instead, I'd suggest changing

  enum EVRPC_HOOK_TYPE { INPUT, OUTPUT };

to

  enum EVRPC_HOOK_TYPE { EVRPC_INPUT, EVRPC_OUTPUT };
  #ifndef WIN32
  #define INPUT EVRPC_INPUT
  #define OUTPUT EVRPC_INPUT
  #endif

I've checked in a fix that does this; please let me know if it has
problems.
