These definitions and structures are used in the CCD api and provided by
windows,
However they are absent in mingw. What are our options now?

Please note that we eliminated many of the unnecessary and unused
definitions from the ones we
previously included in our previous patch (

Moreover
they are now present in the cpp files.
