At least TSystemTime is declared there, used in GetLocalTime (Win32 
platform). Dunno about other types or constants, used in other Win32 RTL 
and FCL units (winsocks...).

Type declarations and constants are useful even without detailed 
documentation. When I started to document the LCL, I found many (Delphi) 
functions based on the WinAPI, so that some documentation is required 
anyhow.

I agree that a description of the full WinAPI can be omitted from the 
general RTL/FCL documentation, but the used (linked) items should be 
documented.
