wine users - Sep 2008 - how did wine devs get some values in winbase.h ?

Hey,

I'm using mingw on Windows for compilation of linux programs and there is a
value that is missing in the mingw winbase.h header file: FILE_MAP_EXECUTE

the wine winbase.h file has that value, but mingw devs can't copy it because
of the licence used in wine.

So my question is : where do wine devs get these numbers ?

They most likely came from SDK/DDK. There are no license problems if you
don't "copy" but "re-type" the same thing. Public API is
not patentable.

hehehe 

so the automated way is protected but the old fashion one is ok? 
  

hehe gotta love the loopholes
