We documented Vista / Server 2008 because that is what our code is
declaring it wants in terms of Windows public APIs:

In osdep.h we have:

  #ifdef _WIN32
  /* as defined in sdkddkver.h */
  #ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
  #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0600 /* Vista */
  #endif

which tells Mingw / MSys not to expose windows header file declarations
that post-date Vista.


With regards,
Daniel
