Haven't checked the documentation, but looking at winuser.h, that appears to 
be the case.

Yes, though I've only built with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF .

I had to copy libgdi32.a and libcomdlg32.a from the /mingw/lib folder to the 
/lib folder, otherwise they are not found and the process tries to link to 
the system dll's (and fails).

One other complication for me was that I use the cross-compiler (where the 
gcc executable is not actually named 'gcc.exe'). See my post of  12 June 
titled '[Win32] x64 build of plplot' for a more detailed account. You'll 
avoid that naming issue if you grab the "sezero" binary which, I think, is 
to be found under the "Personal Builds" section.

Cheers,
