But this won't really address the issue; if we don't use the header it will most likely get broken by something and nobody will notice, and then when someone uses it in Winelib we have the same problem.
True.
I think we should add the header and use it instead of ntddk.h where possible. This probably requires adding/moving definitions to it that are currently in ntddk.h, but that's acceptable as long as they are exported under Windows anyway. And it's better to follow the SDK than the DDK where we can, since this is what apps we want to build with Winelib will be using too.
Agreed. If you apply the patch, I will see what I can do.
I have already looked into it a little. However I think most of what is in ntddk.h must be moved into wintrnl.h. Possible some stuff should go in some other wine/*.h header.
Do you want things that is only defined in ntddk.h be protected by #ifdef __WINE__ so no normal Windows application can't use them?
