unfortunately i can't find a complete set of windows header files.
maybe one should add a link for those headers if they exist - life is not linux or osx only.

I'm slowly working on getting them into the standard library. I'm probably one or two more weekends away from getting it to work (it is harder than I thought because the stdlib's build system sucks and there's an incomplete patchwork in there that needs to be cleaned up first too).

In the mean time... there is a port of the mingw headers somewhere, but I don't know where anymore. maybe try searching dlang win32...

Or you can just declare functions and structs as needed. I did that in simpledisplay.d for Win32, opengl, and X11 bindings:
