For the most part, using the APIs is pretty straight-forward if you have
the required prototypes and structure definitions. With the possible
exception of NtCreateProcess(), there is not a lot of "magic" involved.
The MinGW project has done a lot of good work in this area. There also
a ton of useful information in the MS DDK. The DDK is, obviously,
focused on kernel-mode drivers, but much of the information is applicable
to user-mode apps.

So, unfortunately, I don't have a complete reference, but there are
enough "islands of information" around for us to piece together
everything we need.
