FWIW, another option would be to remove all the min/max stuff here,
and add -DNOMINMAX (or whatever the proper syntax is) in the Windows
build configuration.  I did some later research on JDK-8161145, and
defining that macro seems to be the "official" way to suppress those
macros in the offending windows header.

The proposed change also seems fine to me, not surprisingly.  Under the
circumstances, not sure I should be counted as a reviewer :)

I can sponsor though.
