Thanks, I didn't  know that it needed the 'alias' ordinal symbol.

When i looked for documentation on the NONAME symbols in Hans' patch, I
couldn't find any, except for the symbols that are exported by name from
shlwapi.dll.  Nor do we have prototypes.
So that begs the question: shouldn't we just remove them from the import
lib, because it looks like ordinary users are not meant to use them?
