Use gdi32.GdiGradientFill instead of msimg32.GradientFill, the latter one
is forwarded to gdi32 anyway.

Well, I can't find GdiGradientFill by searching at MSDN. I found some links
through Google, though. Is it a deprecated, old API? If that's the case, I
think we'd better link to msimg32.

Anyway, I'll turn in the patch with gdi32.

It might be a deprecated API, but it doesn't matter since you can bet that
they won't throw that export away.
Or at least if they do, then there's still no reason for us to throw it away,
since there must be some Windows programs depending on that export.

GdiGradientFill is the gdi32 entry point to which msimg32's GradientFill
is forwarded. "Deprecated" is the Microsoft term which they usually use
to force developers to go the way Microsoft wants and has nothing to do
with reality and especially with Wine development.
