The current directory is in the search path, afaik, so I think you don't
need to take these actions.

For this error:
> '#include "win32atapi.h"'  win32atapi.h: No such file or directory

gccxml by default searches include files in the C compiler's include
directory.  To find include files in the current directory, you must add
'-I .' to the command line:

h2xml.py -I. win32atapi.h -o win32atapi.xml -c

plus the -l option for the dll.
