There are some other subtile legal issues other than windows.h (read compiler
license clauses) which made me decide several years ago that I was not willing
to take the risk + effort to reverse engineer enough to be comfortable with
it.  I think Rainer has done a great job given the limitations.  I think
the message here is either pay the company if you want to program for their
proprietary technology, or chose a different path.  

Gee, Linux sure looks good :-)
