I have some more news on our .goh header files:
It turns out, goh/h files are usually created from scripts that translate
the def/uih files. Some things, however, just don't translate well, so
they need to be translated by hand. This is especially true of the C stubs,
which I think are always manually written. We do try to test all of our
API, but some glitches do slip through the cracks, so thanks for your
patience and understanding in these cases.
Regards,
Paul.
