Environment:

   cygcheck -s shows that I'm running the 1.5.25 version of cygwin1.dll.

   I just updated my system a few days ago.

   I'm trying to compile some C++ code using g++.

Documentation for the missing API function:

   http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644989.aspx

The Problem:

   The above documentation states that the function should be located
in winuser.h but it's not.  Its related function
DeregisterShellWindowHook is in winuser.h.

   Even if I add a hand-coded prototype for this function, I get a
linker error stating that the RegisterShellWindowProc function was
unresolved.  That's because it's not included in libuser32.a.

Workaround:

   I am using GetProcAddress to access the function.  For example:

      ::GetProcAddress(::GetModuleHandle("USER32.DLL"),
"RegisterShellHookWindow");

Thank you!
