If you can leave it out and still have programs run against those classes
(except for the rare programs that would need to deal with Win32 API's), I
say leave it out. If you need the method for Windows forms applications to
recognize the class, create an empty stub.

Those who write their programs with platform invoke and with
Windows-specific features should understand the consequences of doing so.
Don't do extra work trying to keep up with Win32.
