I'd say it's the same thing as MS headers: you can't directly copy them
(MS's or Wine's), but the #defines FOO 123, etc. can be used (since
they're factual and needed for work correctly).

Somebody (dis)agree with this?

ReWind can be used directly, as it's license allow you to do that. But
keep in mind that many times, Wine's headers have Wine specific parts,
which Mingw will probably have to ditch or modify.
