I'm sure someone here in OFA can find the Right Someone to talk to in Microsoft 
for us.

I think the questions / discussion will be pretty easy (IANAL and all that), 
but we might as well try to do the Right Thing before doing something that 
could unintentionally have some repercussions.

- Is it ok if we commit these files to our repo (such that they will be 
publicly available to the world)?
  --> Doesn't matter if others are doing it.  We need to ask if it's ok if *we* 
do it.
- Are we allowed to edit those headers?
- What license are those headers distributed under?
- Is it ok if we distribute these files in our source packages (e.g., in the 
source tarball)?
- Is it ok if we distribute binaries that call the APIs in these files?
- ...(IANAL, I don't know what else to ask)

My $0.02: it's worth asking this stuff in light of
