Well, the libraries aren't actually needed for much more than resolving the
import references from Windows' Kernel/GDI/User/other modules, by Microsoft
development products (at their current state), either.

This is to say, that programming for Windows is already possible (at least in
principle) with only the 'lowest-level' object modules (located in xNOCRT.LIB
as nocrt.obj and wnull.obj) *and* by knowing the 'argumentation' for function
calls (#defines and prototyping).  By running the IMPLIB for each kernel.exe,
gdi.exe and user.exe one then gets the libraries...
