File /usr/include/w32api/basetyps.h. 

It would be better to have REFFMTID type defined
for C compiler as

#define REFFMTID const FMTID*

instead of 

#define REFFMTID const FMTID* const.

In the original Win32 platform SDK
it is defined as 

#define REFFMTID const IID * __MIDL_CONST

where __MIDL_CONST trurns into const only
when compiling proxy/stub for the interface 
(as far as i understand).

Current const definition prevents successful
build of, for example, clisp.

Best regards,
-Anton
