Which headers - std.c.windows or my project?

And if people are creating private forks of my project, why?  True, it's PD, 
so who's to stop them, but what's to gain by doing this instead of 
contributing to the project?

The D3D9 headers have been completely retranslated from M$'s own headers by 
somebody who missed the point.  Is MinGW 3.9 as up to date as this?  I've 
just deassigned these modules - would somebody like to redo them from MinGW 
3.9?
