Further inspection of <winuser.h> reveals three other headers containing
duplicate code ... <winable.h>, <dbt.h>, and <pbt.h>.  Of these, I have
refactored <dbt.h>, such that <winuser.h> may now include it to retrieve
just the formerly duplicated content.

<winable.h> and <pbt.h> both appear to have been declared "obsolete", by
Microsoft, (indeed, MSDN doesn't seem to mention <pbt.h> at all), so I
propose to provide an "obsolete.h.in" template, and let make translate
that into a pair of stubs, to emit a warning, then include <winuser.h>.
