Summary: win32gui.GetCapture seems broken

Initial Comment:
Hello,

it looks like win32gui.GetCapture is broken:

>>> import win32gui
>>> win32gui.GetCapture()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
pywintypes.error: (0, 'GetCapture', 'No error message is 
available')
>>> import ctypes
>>> ctypes.windll.user32.GetCapture()
0

As you can see, it always reports an exception with 
win32gui, I don't know why. My workaround of using 
ctypes for it seems to fix the problem.
