Possible link attributes generated for things outside Windows SDK

[Awfa]

build!ing Windows::Win32::FileSystem::NetShareEnum generates:

#[link(name = "srvcli")]
extern "system" {
    pub fn NetShareEnum(
        servername: super::SystemServices::PWSTR,
        level: super::NetManagement::Net_level,
        bufptr: *mut *mut u8,
        prefmaxlen: u32,
        entriesread: *mut u32,
        totalentries: *mut u32,
        resume_handle: *mut u32,
    ) -> u32;
}

which tells Rust to link to srvcli.lib.

But it can't find it in my window's sdk, which has the following libs:

In the winapi crate, their NetShareEnum I believe links to Netapi32.lib.

The Microsoft docs also show this coming from Netapi32.lib

Would this be a windows-rs issue, a win32metadata issue, or an issue with my window's sdk?

Below is the ILSpy output for Windows.Win32.FileSystem.Apis.NetShareEnum to save you some time:

Ran into this issue as well for: Windows::Win32::NetManagement::NetApiBufferFree trying to link netutils.lib when it seems the documentation points it to Netapi32.lib

This looks like a duplicate of #463 - we can add a workaround for it in the short term. In the long term, this is fixed with raw-dylib.

Here's a test branch I've used to validate this - works great. 😉

Here's where the workaround goes:

https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/blob/8dd4ef3f34dd817573dee6f47f78bbc3a7797a19/crates/gen/src/types/function.rs#L48-L51

Duplicate of #463

Let me know if you need me to add a workaround for a some lib files. Otherwise I'll track this as part of #463.
