The only ways you can determine the ordinal alias in absence of
documentation is by reverse engineering or by trial and error.   How
were these determined?

By pushing the limits on "clean room" development of the w32api, we
jeopardise not only the mingw project but also other projects - cygwin,
Watcom - that seek to provide tools mainly for ordinary developers (who
get no value from having  DPA_Clone and friends exposed in the import
lib).
