Nick Coghlan added the comment:

I thought WINVER defaulted to something like 0x0400 (i.e. you can't use
things specifically defined for even Win2k without setting it, let alone
things first defined for XP).

I know I had to force it to 0x0500 recently for a non-Python project to
get access to the function that permits a non-blocking attempt to
acquire a critical section. That project is stuck using VC6 though -
current MS compilers may default it to something more recent.
