I don't see why it would be a problem to have an internal function
doing the real work. As long as that function doesn't have to be
exported from the dll (but since both ExtTextOut and
GetCharacterPlacement are in gdi32 this shouldn't be a problem) it's a
perfectly reasonable approach. And it's much better than adding
internal flags to an exported API.
