I believe he was saying that he made the xxxx.def and libxxxx.a files 
himself but is using the microsoft versions of the header files. I think 
its the .lib and .def files he wants to get checked in, not the microsoft 
header files.

Fw: [Mingw-users] vfw.h anyone still working with it??

[psksvp <psksvp@cc...>]

Hello Again

 Here is the correct def and .a files for VideoForWindows stuff, thanks to
 Luke Dunstan who points me to way to fix it. I have tested it with my code,
 it's working without problem so far. The missing header files vfw.h and one
 other(I forgot the name), I copied them from Platform sdk. Also instead of
linking with libvfw32.a, you will need to link with the 3 .a files attached
with this mail.

could someone help me check this to the win32api
