Well, not by mistake. I'm maintaining a version of MinGW (at http://mirzam.it.vu.nl/mingw) with a number of patches thrown in to make cross building Wine tests and dlls work. Adding missing guids was one of those patches. I could remove that one but Wine (dxsound) has progressed so much lately that more patching is needed for MinGW (it's w32api part, to be precise). These problems are bound to occur more often and although the proper solution seems to be to fix MinGW, reality has it that MinGW won't accept some of our patches. Now that we have our own SDK package on sourceforge, wine-w32api, I am contemplating using that instead of mingw-w32api, along with mingw-gcc and mingw-binutils. That would help us with issues like these but at the same time we would lose testing Wine builds with third-party headers and import libs, which turns up Wine bugs every once and a while. -Hans
