"Un-portable" in that it wraps the win32 API rather than implementing the API. But it's actually a pretty handy format if you wanted to generate wrappers for other languages -- replace a couple base types/functions and have it emit code to wrap the Win32 API for any other language.

And yeah, it's pretty obviously automatically generated.

I did the same years back. Ported the entire win32 API to lua. Automatically generated the code. But the work was hard never the less.
