They are a clean room implementation of the MS headers. I haven't tried to use them with RSXNTDJ, but they work well with MingW32, and are fairly complete. Unlike the Cygwin headers, they do preserve the filenames and structure of the MS set. This mean if you want to include a dll that is not presently available, you can edit the MS header and build the wrapper libxxx.a fairly easily. One very great advantage: you don't have to download every trashcan in Redmond to get just the headers. I think it would be worthwhile to use Anders' set and extend them as needed. Ultimately, this would bring some of the more obscure dll's into the gnu world.
