The Win32 bindings are excellent. I believe your points are 
invalid.

The libraries are here:

And the definition files for these libraries are here:

This is how the C headers work. The targeted Windows version is a 
preprocessor define.

It compiles just fine without any version identifiers, but it 
will target an old Windows version (95 or 98).

This is a horrible idea. YOU ARE NOT TARGETING THE ENVIRONMENT 
YOU ARE BUILDING FROM!

These headers have a long development history and are generally 
rather polished. You are suggesting to throw away all that and 
replacing them with something of your own?
