InitCommonControlsEx and related things are new features of the win32
gui
and they are not (as you've noticed) in any headers or import libraries.
Get the .def file for comctl32.dll (comtl32.def) and add the line:
InitCommonControlsEx AT 4

To build the library execute:
dlltool -k --output-lib libcomtl32.a --dllname comctl32.dll --def
comctl32.def

You also have to add the prototype for InitCommonControlsEx to
commctrl.h
(don't forget WINAPI). Could you send me your patches?

Get the def file from the mingw32 package
http://www.fu.is.saga-u.ac.jp/~colin/gcc.html
or from the GNU Windows32 library
or from the cygwin source distribution.
