Aha... it actually makes sense, whichever view of Microsoft you take. Conspirational theory: it is now documented, but as a counterblow they make it harder to use by removing the ability to link to it statically.
Well wishing theory: since it was undocumented to begin with, Microsoft wants to better its reputation by not using it themselves anymore. Hence its disappearance from the link library.
Engineer theory: since it was undocumented, it is now considered obsolete. Hence removed from the link library so as to not encourage its use.
Of course, the thruth could be a combo of all above. :-)
Before we start accusing Microsoft (not that I mind doing that of course ;-), have you checked that we are actually using the correct comctl32.lib? And that this comctl32.lib really doesn't have these functions? (strings and grep are your friends).
