Weird name collission

How can a member of an enum type, like

typedef enum tagMPEG4Mode
{
None = 0,
Divx = 1,
Microsoft = 2,
} MPEG4Mode;

collide with a namespace, like Microsoft ? These are both third party
libraries - how can I solve the name collission?

In C++, enum members aren't scoped to the enum but rather to the enclosing
namespace.

You could rename the enumerator or enclose the enum in a namespace for the
library. Either way, you may have to recompile the library, but the odds
are much worse for the latter.
