That depends. Wine used to be entirely compiled with gcc and there long 
is pointer sized. Now parts of it are compiler with MinGW and there long 
is always 4 bytes.

What this means is that long should really not be used in Wine's windows 
headers (except some rare cases) otherwise we lose compatibility with 
gcc.

But maybe your concern is to get winapi_test to work on the Windows 
headers? I guess for that use case the patch can make sense but then it 
should be documented in the code.
