Note that a problem here is that the Win32 bindings are
copyrighted by Microsoft. This is very annoying, but is
a problem that has still not been resolved. I think the
copyright is somewhat dubious, since it could be viewed
as an attempt to copyright an interface dictated by
external requirements, something that has not been
supported by courts (e.g. in the Borland dispute).

But Intermetrics is taking the position that the copyright
is valid, which means that it is not possible to post and
distribute these bindings freely.
