What are you really aiming to do with winetest?

OK. I made a script (adapted winapi_extract) to do this (attached).
Output attached as well, but you can regenerate it by doing
	tools/winapi/winapi_extract
in the topsrcdir.

I realized that when I was at it I could output the
argument types as well and thus having a hash table 
that can be given to wine::declare directly.

Here is also a script make_modules that generates
modules to use this directly and thus there is no
need to any spec2pm any longer.

However I'm not postive that we want to have seperate
include for constants and functions. Perhaps it would
be better if people used to C could just do

	use winuser; 

instead of

	#include "winuser.h"

and not have to do any additional

	use user32;

as well.

Oh, well, I don't really have any strong feelings in
any direction. But it would be easier if you told me
how you wanted it.

Oh BTW: What is your opinion on having special
Perl adapted versions of some functions like:

sub GlobalGetAtomNameA {
    my $atom = shift;
    my $buffer = "\0" x 256; # FIXME: Fixed buffer length
    my $length = &kernel32::GlobalGetAtomNameA($atom, \$buffer,
length($buffer));
    return substr($buffer, 0, $length);
}

Should we have them as the default imported function in say kernel32.pm
or should each test that wants a easier to use version declare it 
in the test itself.
