Perhaps someone can help me understand why people are having these kinds of
problems.  I find DWORD defined as:

typedef unsigned long DWORD;

in /usr/include/windef.h.

This file comes from the w32api package (yes, this time I took the time to 
go find the definition and track the file to its package myself!;-))  Are
questions like these popping up just because people aren't installing all 
the packages (but still expecting everything to work fine!;-)) or is there
some other reason I don't understand that accounts for problems like this?
