I have no idea why MSVC rejects

  #define CFF_CONFIG_OPTION_DARKENING_PARAMETERS   500, 400, \
                                                  1000, 275, \
                                                  1667, 275, \
                                                  2333,   0

for expansion.  A valid preprocessor expression must consist of valid
C tokens – numbers and `,' are certainly valid.

This looks like a bug in MSVC...
