If the compiler checks that C++ declarations of the similarly named extern
"C" functions have the same argument types then this is a showstopper and
I don't think we can do anything except to always include and use
windows.h on that compiler.
Maybe we can, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.
// at global scope
struct FILETIME;
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) void __stdcall
GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(FILETIME*);
namespace winapi
{
    struct FILETIME { ... };
inline void GetSystemTimeAsFileTime( FILETIME * p )
    {
        ::GetSystemTimeAsFileTime( (::FILETIME*)p );
    }
}
Interesting idea, I haven't though about it.
