What's the legal position?
How different do the cygwin32 Windows header files have to be from
Microsofts to not infringe copyright, or whatever? Can we just strip out
all the comments and expand all the typedefs (well, obviously not all the
typedefs, just the simple ones such as DWORD) ? Do we even need to do
that? I imagine it's hard to enforce copyright on data structure
definitions and function prototypes.
I've got my-mmsystem.h which I'll gladly donate, but at the moment it's
just Microsofts with my hacks.
