I'm trying to write a couple of Python modules that wrap some OpenGL 
extensions under Windows (using Visual C++ 6). To do so I have to obtain 
the function pointers of the extension functions before I can call them. 
Such a function pointer looks like this (taken from wglext.h):

typedef HPBUFFERARB (WINAPI * PFNWGLCREATEPBUFFERARBPROC) (HDC hDC, int 
iPixelFormat, int iWidth, int iHeight, const int *piAttribList);

The problem is the WINAPI macro which is defined as:

#define WINAPI  __stdcall

Pyrex complains when having a __stdcall in the ctypedef. Everything would 
be fine if Pyrex would just use the type name (PFNWGLCREATEPBUFFERARBPROC) 
when casting a pointer to that type. Then I could just leave the __stdcall 
out, but it would still be in there when the C compiler is doing its work.
