The original headers only did 32-bit. Over the years some 64-bit 
corrections have been added. This process is ongoing, so please make 
sure you use the newest version.

I'm a bit loath to try to fix this with big, overarching $packrecords, 
because the winapi actually sometimes uses packrecords C and sometimes 
packrecords 8.

Similar attempts in the normal windows headers were cumbersome, so we 
are dealing with it on a case by case basis.

If you have problems with certain structures, AND you have tested with 
trunk or FPC 3.2.0rc1, please file a bug.
