By searching GitHub, it seemes that windowsx.h16 was once shipped with NT PDK, and verinfo.ver was once provided by an old Windows SDK. Both can't be found in latest Windows Kits. I'm not sure whether we want to still provide these files, or maybe we should align with current Windows Kits and remove these outdated files?
Those may be useful to build retro software, so no.
I've found more similar legacy files in mingw-w64-crt/libsrc, for example: ``` dist_libsrc_DATA = \ libsrc/agtctl_i.c libsrc/agtsvr_i.c libsrc/cdoex_i.c libsrc/cdoexm_i.c \ libsrc/cdosys_i.c libsrc/emostore_i.c libsrc/iisext_i.c libsrc/mtsadmin_i.c \ libsrc/mtxadmin_i.c libsrc/scardssp_i.c libsrc/scardssp_p.c libsrc/tsuserex_i.c ``` These files are installed into include/ now. They were distributed by old Windows SDK (about v6.0A or earlier), and removed at about v8.1A. Should we still distribute them today? Especially considering that these `.c` files are distributed under `include/`, which is very strange.
iisext_i.c is still in Windows SDK 10.0.28000; haven't looked at the others though.These files contain definitions of GUIDs that are not defined elsewhere (uuid.lib for example). Users have to include these files to avoid linker errors, should such GUIDs be used.
