No, that line is not in user32.spec, it's in user.exe.spec which is
the 16-bit one. 16-bit functions cannot be imported from other dlls
since this would require calling down to 16-bit which we want to
avoid. So that InitThreadInput export is only available for 16-bit
binaries, not for Winelib dlls.

It should, but to work around it we have added an InitThreadInput16
export in user32.spec; this time it's a normal 32-bit export so it can
be used from other dlls. This is really a hack because Windows doesn't
do it like this of course.
