If I copy the VARIANT definition from the oaidl.h header into a .c test file
(replacing all the type definitions by int), I can access var.vt there and
the test file compiles fine. So it seems that winegcc doesn't have a general
problem with nested anonymous unions, but only with this declaration from its
own header file. If I include windows.h instead, it says: 'VARIANT' has no
member named 'vt'.

Is there a way to "dump" the struct as the compiler sees it after the
preprecessor to figure out what the problem might be?
