Unroll MIN as the straight ?: construct

[yanick]

Considering that not all compilers give us MIN implicitly, and since it's only at one place in the code, losing the MIN shouldn't be too high a price to pay, readability-wise, for portability.

Just out of curiosity, which common compiler's don't give us MIN? I've been reading through the code in this repo and your PR sparked my interest. Thanks in advance!

Look at the failures of Escape::Houdini 0.1.2 (my Perl wrapper for the houdini lib) at http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/E/Escape-Houdini.html As usual, it's the windows compiler that seems to be causing problems, the naughty git. :-)

Thanks for the explanation! I'm going to maintain an updated fork of @vmg's project over at christianbundy/houdini, and I've merged your commit.

Sweet. The Perl module was using my own fork. I'm glad to ear I'll be able to just point to yours and have one less repo to worry about. :-)
