If you want to compile with Visual C++ you will have to do
something like below.

#ifdef __GNUC__
#define WINAPI_PTR * WINAPI
#else
#define WINAPI_PTR WINAPI *
#endif

And replace all WINAPI function with:

<return value> (WINAPI_PTR <function pointer name>)(<parameter list>)

Hmm. That reminds me. I experimented with this some year ago but I
have no distinct memory of asking Alexandre whether he wanted a
patch that does this for Wine. Then I forgot about it.

Alexandre:
Will you accept a patch that does this?
