BTW the structure is this:
typedef struct _POLYPATBLT
{
  LONG nXLeft;
  LONG nYLeft;
  LONG nWidth;
  LONG nHeight;
  HBRUSH hBrush;
} POLYPATBLT, * PPOLYPATBLT;

I was going to change it with the next installment of GdiBatch.

I guess we can add those into the our SDK. I was ranting on how we
should be compatible.

Do what you think is right....
