Ah, well the difference is less than obvious to me. In particular, the formatting on the web-page wasn't an exact match with that used in the wine headers, so I had to produce the header content manually. And of course taking a pretty-printed rendering of a structure in HTML and producing a C header definition would seem to me to be a change of its "expression". On the other hand, I *have* duplicated the interface verbatim in terms of using exactly the same element names, the same order of elements in the structures, etc. I've already posted the patch(es) to wine-patches, do you think what I've done constitutes a problem?
