  I don't think we should take the risk of exposing the project to what is
basically an untested legal theory though.  It makes sense to be cautious.
It's not like we have lawyers available to argue the case if MS were to issue
a takedown of some sort.

  I don't know what the precise details of the guidelines are for what's
acceptable and what isn't, maybe Danny can comment: are we ok with stuff
that's been posted on MS' own forums like social.msdn.microsoft.com and
forums.microsoft.com/?  If so, google the exact phrase (i.e., use quotes
around the search term) "Create a GPRS connection in PPC2003", which has the
missing priority values.

  Heh.  I have also found the missing flag values, but I don't know the
provenance.  There's a post on mail-archive.org where someone has ported the
connmgr api to object pascal!  I have no idea whether we could use it though.

    cheers,
