All interfaces change when a new version is released, that´s no reason
not to write pascal bindings for them. We have different pascal
bindings for Qt 2, 3 and 4, for example.

What really doesn´t help is that the windows driver world is huge.
really vast. There are dozens of different driver types, and some
tipes only work on some versions of windows.

Another (maybe easier) option is to use the microsoft assembler and
linker that come with the ddk.
