The Windows SDK did not standardize on either long or LONG, instead they 
use a mixture (well, mostly LONG with some longs here and there). I 
don't know what their intention is with that, if they have one, it just 
bothers me to lose that information in the Wine headers. Just in case a 
few years down the road they decide that long extends to 128bits in 
Win128 but LONG does not. I don't want to have to convert back all our 
LONG-that-should-be-longs to something else again.

It may be a bit paranoid, and maybe it's not worth it (though I don't 
think it costs us much). In any case, whatever Alexandre decides I'll 
follow.
