Download the sources to w32api and make a symlink. IIRC the currently
released w32api package has a missing #define which needs to go in winnt.h:
#define    INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES (-1)
I believe this has been in CVS for a while and therefore will show up in the
next package (if it has not already).
