You can answer this yourself for any function by reading the copious
documentation at MSDN.  A google search of "site:msdn.microsoft.com
<name of function>" will almost always return the desired page as the
first hit.  For every function MSDN will list any required headers that
need to be included and what library to link against.  If MSDN lists
Foo.lib then add -lfoo to the end of the link command line.

Certain libraries (namely user32, kernel32, advapi32, and shell32; as
well as gdi32 and comdlg32 if -mwindows was specified) you never need to
specify since they are included in the specs file and will be
effectively always present on the link command line.

You should always read the MSDN documentation for every win32 function
before using it, as it will often contain important information about
the parameters or return value, and/or how to properly use the function.
