Actually, I know quite a few that would say you don't need to use the WinAPI 
to program for Windows. There are libs (eg. Qt and wxWindows), that let you 
create Windows apps without touching any WinAPI code directly. Such libs tend 
to be too heavy of a dependency for Wine to use, though.

That doesn't seem to be the same thing as C bindings. As I understand it, 
Carbon is a legacy API that came from MacOS 9, and was brought into OSX to 
help with getting OS9 apps ported. Proper C bindings would have you calling 
Cocoa, but using a C API instead of an Obj-C API.
