That's if you're lucky.  In my experience, global variables, or
variables that are part of structs, are just left as is.  IIRC, one of
the parameters in the WindowProc function definition is misnamed in this
way.  Hmm, wParam maybe (which was changed to a DWORD).  I would have to
dig through the Petzold book to be sure, or some of my old sources
*shudder*.
