Some version information functions differ from those that come with the Platform
SDK.
those are the functions I noticed, but there may be others: GetFileVersionInfo
and GetFileVersionInfoSize

I think the whole header should be revised

The difference I've faced is in the char * parameters, in the Platform SDK they're
declared as LPCSTR and LPCWSTR, however in header that come with MinGW, the
are declared as LPSTR and LPWSTR.

however... in the docs, either the online MSDN or the offline one, they're declared
as non-consts!!

which one should MinGW stick to? the docs or the headers? I think the headers.

for example, the following piece of code compiles successfuly on MSVCTK with
Platform SDK installed, however it doesn't compile with the latest MinGW
version:

const TCHAR* const fileName = "test.exe";

DWORD dummy;
const DWORD versionInfoSize = GetFileVersionInfoSize(fileName, &dummy);
