Delphi2Cpp: Windows API, conversion from Delphi to C++

Windows API

The interfaces to many functions of the Windows API are collected in the file "WinProcs.pas". The corresponding file is called "Windows.pas" in the CBuilder. "uses WinProcs" is therefore translated as "#include <Windows.hpp>". In addition, this file is interpreted a little differently than the other pas files: structures are passed here as parameter to a function by the address of the structure and not as reference as in the other files.

foo(&StructureType) instead of foo(StructureType)

The name space "Windows". is left out at the translation since the corresponding functions frequently don't exist there in the CBuilder. (Also "System." in front of the Move function is left out.)
