Perhaps someone can help me understand why people are having these kinds of
problems. I find DWORD defined as:
typedef unsigned long DWORD;
in /usr/include/windef.h.
This file comes from the w32api package (yes, this time I took the time to
go find the definition and track the file to its package myself!;-)) Are
questions like these popping up just because people aren't installing all
the packages (but still expecting everything to work fine!;-)) or is there
some other reason I don't understand that accounts for problems like this?
