The reason why we avoid windows.h inclusion in Wine is compilation time by avoiding inclusion of all-in-one headers windows.h does. It's always a good programming practice to include only those .h files that are really needed, inclusion of windows.h usually shows the ignorance and lack of knowledge of a programmer. -- Dmitry.
