I find it a bit confusing. As you say this is documented in the DDK
documentation,
but this file is not located in the MS Windows DDK. It comes with the MS
Platform SDK.
The Platform SDK contains more than the Win32 API, so maybe we should decide
if
w32api should be a platform SDK or we should have a new subproject for such
additions that isn't strictly Win32 APIs. Other Windows Sockets files would
be more
Platform SDK material than Win32 API material. Also DirectX is really not
Win32 APIs
either. I vote for a new CVS module for the non-Win32 API stuff.
