Yet another effort at translating the Win32 API headers

[Stewart Gordon]

I know there have been a number of efforts already, but none of them 
seem to be perfect.  As such, I've decided to start a project to tidy 
them up.

This work is based on Y. Tomino's translation of the Win32 headers into D:

(Granted, Google doesn't exactly generate English as we know it from 
Japanese, but still....)

At the moment I've done only commctrl.d.  Yes, this is a rather long 
file, but it's given me a chance to draw up a decent list of 
improvements to be implemented.  I've also tweaked two of the other 
files to get it to compile, but not gone through improving them.  Notice 
that commctrl.d has been reduced from two files adding to 15200 lines, 
412K to a single file of 6320 lines, 166K.

Download the work so far:

(Only the files that have actually been modified are in the download - 
see the above URL for those pending.)

See the readme.txt file for a description of the improvements that have 
been made.  Anybody is more than welcome to take another of the files 
and implement these improvements.  Please announce which file you are 
taking in a followup to this post, to avoid duplication of effort.  When 
you've done it, you may post it as an attachment here or send it to me 
by email.

Stewart.
