[Mingw-users] interesting side-note that relates to the header-file-merge proposal

[Jonathan W. <jo...@tp...>]

Essentially there are 2 kinds of functions exported by MS dlls.
Those that MS documents and those that MS doesnt.
Now, MingW only accepts stuff pertaining to the first kind (because of "how 
can we be sure that this is correct" or "this could disappear in a future 
windows version" or "how can we be sure that this info was obtained legally").

However, there is in fact, a 3rd kind of function exported by MS dlls.
Functions that are documented by MS but not in MSDN or public documentation.
Specificly, the only example I know of here is the Installable File System 
kit (anyone aware of any others?)

How will this be handled?
Will MingW accept IFS kit related stuff or not?
How will this be handled?
