Together with Andre I have been working on some comctl32 v6 tests. I
also tried to dynamically apply a manifest to figure at what point
windows classes are re-registered. Calling CreateWindow after applying
a manifest doesn't appear to work (at least on XP SP3). I'm not sure
what happens to function calls after a context switch (when switching
to the manifest). Perhaps it is important to load the functions
dynamically then, I believe InitCommonControlsEx is important in some
cases, perhaps try to call it.
