Summary: DirectMusic gcc Issues

Initial Comment:
Following the Direct Music tutorial on MSDN I made a 
file with this in the header:

#define INITGUID
#include <dmusici.h>

This had some missing definitions so I added:
#include <basetyps.h>
#include <wtypes.h>
#include <unknwn.h>
#include <oaidl.h>
But that's another bug and another story.  Anyway, that 
fixed that however I was still left with one lingering bug.  
The struct DMUS_REGION has a member that is a 
struct of type WLOOP called WLOOP[1].  G++ doesn't 
like this, fact it doesn't like any:

struct A {};
struct B {
    A A;
};

I reckon this is an upstream bug and may even possibly 
be fixed in gcc 3.4 but I'm unsure that it's even a bug 
and don't have a copy of 3.4 to test with.  I  also don't 
have access to a copy of the ISO standard so sadly I 
can't check that.

While I could just fix it by changing the header file but 
this breaks API compat so I'd rather not.

I'm using the latest release of MinGW gcc (gcc 3.2.3)
