My main motivation was a fix for the bug
CORE-17815 'Fix incorrect opaque text rendering' (#2760)
which was unhidden by 0.4.12-dev-824-g d57f7becc3 .
That specific and most important fix
was picked from 0.4.15-dev-190-g d839e3d9b4
We left out the additional WIN32SS-hardening in this context in the backport to older
releases for now.
Then I looked further in sndrec32 and compared each file of that module on master
head with both: current 0.4.14RC and also current 0.4.7rls and found the rare
situation that I liked each and every change within since 2017.
Specifically this will also backport (#2754), and various translation PRs, whitespace-cleanup,
and (for older releases than 0.4.14RC) it will also bring some x64-improvements.
So I decided to take everything from current master head except the changes in CMakeLists.txt
because that subset is applicable and a win for all ros releases down to 0.4.7.
