It is not a big problem for me but
in this case Lazarus (Win32 interface) will contain some redefinitions of

I think the latter would be best.
We can always insert the constants directly in the windows unit, so everyone
benefits.
Agreed. According to
http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/12/12/56061.aspx cbSize is
basically used as a magic number which has to be correct, rather than simply the
size of the structure with some elements ignored by the OS. I'm sure I've come
across cases where there was a list of sizes AKA magic numbers for use rather
than a simple sizeof(), but I can't say which compiler or API family.
Indeed, with some of the MS headers you wil find consts with the size of
a struct for certain versions.
