[clean-list] htoclean and dlls

In the doc of htoclean it says that because of some not implemented
relocations the DLL (under Windows) library must be accompanied by an
ASCII file containing the names of the routines.

Well, it (examples: gdi, user, etc.) contains a bit more, say

AppendMenu@16

or something like that. I understand that @N means that the parameter list
is 16 bytes long (4 double words), isn't it?

But some functions have "corrupted" names, with an additional "A" before @,
say

VeryUsefulCallA@4

while the incriminated dll has no such A in the name, unless the huge 
help file collection of Dev Studio hides The Truth.

Could you please shed some light on this Terrible Problem?
Thank you.
