Problem with optary.h

[Francois Gouget]

I have done a test compilation of the Wine conformance tests on Windows 
and found that dlls/mshtml/tests/misc.c fails to compile because it 
depends on the optary.h header.

The problem is that this header is not part of the Platform SDK or of 
the DirectX SDK. Apparently it is only part of the IE6 SDK, which seems 
to be deprecated now. At least that's the impression I got from:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/samples/internet/libraries/ie6_lib/default.asp

This raises the following questions:
 * Should optary.h really be in Wine's global include directory?
 * How should one go about compiling misc.c with the Windows headers? 
   Should we add the IE SDK as a requirement for compiling the Wine 
conformance tests?
 * Is optary.h still present in the IE 7 SDK (or equivalent)?
