Hello

In my opinion it would be good to make it available in similar way, as 
functions like debugstr_guid, which are defined in include/wine/debug.h

Messages' names are declared as an array MessageTypeNames in spy.c . 
Maybe it would be enough to copy it into the header and wrap access to 
it into simple function like debugstr_msg()? This is easiest way, but in 
the result there will be copy of array in each .so library. There will 
be also problem with multiple reference, but this may be solved 
following solution used in test.h.

I'm not so familiar with this, so maybe other, more experienced devs 
could say something about this idea.
