Yes. That sort of stuff needs to be sorted out as part of getting the bindings 
into druntime. As for maintenance, I would expect that the WinAPI project 
would be effectively superseded by druntime and become completely redundant, 
but the WinAPI project will probably be around for a while. How the bindings 
get maintained depends entirely on who is willing to create the appropriate 
pull requests when changes are necessary and what they do. It'll certainly 
work better if someone takes it upon themselves to actively maintain them. But 
if someone has been doing that with the WinAPI bindings, then presumably, they 
can do it with druntime.
