I didn't mean that an additional import library was required, simply that
the correct import lib needs to be linked in as normal (just like you do
when using windows.h). For functions exported by kernel32 this
happens automatically, for other modules (user32, advapi32, etc) I believe
they must be specified manually. Is this not true? (I'm genuinely
interested, as I thought it was true last time I checked, but it may have
just been a configuration error on my end.)
