In Claw (Class Library for Ada and Windows) there are various children
of Claw, some of which use a private child of Claw.  That private child
contains the thin Windows bindings (ie, the things with pragma Import
and Hungarian names).  Those low level things needn't/shouldn't be
visible to the application, but they certainly are needed by
Claw.Brushes, Claw.Menus, etc.
