Change it to

static BOOL WINAPI (*Ctl3dRegister)(HINSTANCE);

I've just checked it, this makes cc1plus happy and cc1plus will
generate the proper code to call a _stdcall function (it doesn't
clean up the parameter stack).

By the way, cc1plus doesn't like any character between the return
type and the stdcall modifier. In other words, if you have a 
function which returns a pointer your function pointer declaration
must be

void WINAPI *(*foo)(params);

(not 'void * WINAPI (*foo)(params);')
