Do they consider a "reverse engineering" running 'dumpbin /exports comctl32.dll' ?
Here's the answer I got from Danny Smith back in October last year:
The only ways you can determine the ordinal alias in absence of documentation is by reverse engineering or by trial and error. How were these determined?
By pushing the limits on "clean room" development of the w32api, we jeopardise not only the mingw project but also other projects - cygwin, Watcom - that seek to provide tools mainly for ordinary developers (who get no value from having DPA_Clone and friends exposed in the import lib).
Thanks. That's just another proof for ReactOS guys to make use of Wine headers and libraries instead of ones provided by MinGW.
