Closed source code should be compiled with a compiler that respects
the ABI by default. I guess most of it is compiled with Microsoft
Visual Studio, which does presumably does that. I don't think that any
compiler other than GCC can create code for Win32 that assumes a 16-
byte aligned stack.

Then you would have to add this to all routines that may (directly or
indirectly) a routine from a broken library.
