usergdi32.lib is linked by default for Tango/Win32, so something else is 
going on.  I'd guess that perhaps the windows library that contains the 
implementation for this function is snot being linked.  The function 
lives in gdi32.lib, so try putting that in the pragma instead.  Tango's 
usergdi32.lib only contains constants and such.  The actual windows code 
lives elsewhere.
