Hello Vaibhav,

well, some there are already.  Nevertheless a lot of new windows 8
stuff is still missing.  I concentrated on winbase/winnt, and some
ole2 stuff.  A lot of idl-files were updated for this.  Parts of the
shlobj-API were updated too. Additionally we added some parts required
for VLC people to build Windows-Store-compatible applications.
The winuser-part is still on my todo list (along with other stuff)
One issue we still have not consistent supported are the proper checks
for winapi-family.  Some APIs need to be transformed into IDL-files,
so that we are able to maintain them more easily (here we need to
synchronize with Wine people due we need to use widl-tool provided by
them), etc.

So any help on there ongoing issue are most appreciated.

Regards,
Kai
