One thing we could do is change every include in w32api to be something
like:  #include <w32api/windef.h>

Then you could just do something like:

#include <w32api/windows.h>

or I could make a top-level windows.h which included w32api/windows.h.

I hate doing that to every header, though.  I'm not sure how this
would impact the mingw gcc release.
