The majority of Windows functions indeed is stdcall, so the "$calling" is
correct as it simplifies things (though it might be cleaner to move it from
an include to the unit itself). Those functions that have an additional
"stdcall" modifier don't hurt.
The important point is that those few functions that really are "cdecl" are
marked as such.

Please note that "stdcall" does not matter on non-i386 as it's simply
mapped to the platform default there.
