Trouble with arrow keys in Windows

[Terry Welsh]

I'm using SDL 1.3 and have arrow keys working in Linux using
SDL_SCANCODE_LEFT, SDL_SCANCODE_RIGHT, SDL_SCANCODE_UP, and
SDL_SCANCODE_DOWN.  In Windows, these tokens print out as 79, 80, 81,
and 82, which are the values in SDL_default_keymap in SDL_keyboard.c.

But I can only make the arrow keys work in Windows by checking the
SDL_GetKeyboardState() array elements with 90, 92, 94, and 96.  These
values appear to map properly to the values in scancodes_xfree86.h and
not to the left/right/up/down values in scancodes_win32.h.  Could I be
compiling SDL incorrectly or something (I'm compiling with
VisualStudio 2008 EE)?  I'm not sure where to look next for the
problem....
