That's because _wmain didn't really appear until much later. Vista's
nt.lib now implements NtStartupProcess (calls _main) and
NtStartupProcessW (calls _wmain). I didn't implement it yet because I'm
waiting for Thomas's patch to make mingw support _wmain.
Also, speaking of mu-sessions and smss, you might be interested to know
that Vista now has a completely re-designed LPC called ALPC (you can
email me if you want more info), as well as a much more "open" and
public SMSS, now accessible through functions like RtlConnectToSm and
RtlSendMsgToSm. I'm going to guess that some of the features regarding
mu-sessions you've wanted will actually be done right this time:)
