I've just created one myself.
In few places this modifications are wrong and introduced bugs.
F.e. In DBFNTX replacing strncpy() by hb_strncpy() causes that
setting 'key_expr' damages 'unique' flag.
In most of cases when I was using strncpy() instead of hb_strncpy()
it was intentional because trailing 0 was not necessary or even
_MUST_NOT_BE_ set when string allocates whole buffer, f.e. in
low RDD structures.

I also do not find replacing all:
   hb_strncpy( dest, src, CONST_DEFINE )
with:
   hb_strncpy( dest, src, sizeof( dest ) - 1 )

as good idea because it will make code updating harder in some
cases, f.e. when I will want to change in some structure:
   struct
   {
      ...
      char szBuffer[ BUFF_SIZE ];
      ...
   }

with:
   struct
   {
      ...
      char *szBuffer;
      ...
   }

to allocate buffer dynamically. Now I will have to check and updated
all places where szBuffer is set and restore previous version.
In many places the above modifications were really good idea but
I will have to revert them in some others to fix bugs and for easier
code modifications in the future. I'll try to check them carefully.

BTW: in contrib/hbwhat32/_winmain.c we have yet another WinMain()
implementation. I guest it exists for some historical reasons.
It should be removed and additional functions should be changed
to use variables set by source/vm/mainwin.c

best regards,
Przemek
