Mingw32 already has import libraries for "video for windows"
but libvfw32.a is broken. It tries to link to vfw32.dll but no such
file exists instead should it link to 3 different dlls.
How do I create a import library for several dlls?

Another problem is this in the header files:
typedef struct
{
BYTE bFirstEntry; /* first entry to change */
BYTE bNumEntries; /* # entries to change (0 if
256) */
WORD wFlags; /* Mostly to preserve
alignment... */
PALETTEENTRY peNew[]; /* New color specifications */
} AVIPALCHANGE;
The problem is that peNew does not have a fixed number of elements.
How can this be translated to something that gcc accepts?
