This is a bit of an annoyance to me.  IMHO the windows builds should be
targeting an SDK, not the compiler version.  Even VC6 can use newer SDK's
which not only include all the headers and libraries for later OS's, but
update all the tools such as the compiler and linker.

I haven't tested it for this specific issue (though I have built Wireshark for
many years in this way), but I'm pretty positive that if you install a newer
SDK (use the latest 7.1) and then from your command prompt use the
"SetEnv.cmd" from the SDK to setup paths etc then the build will be OK.

The define you quoted is for selecting the minimum API spec of the target
system, 0x0500 is Win2K, but the function you quote is only for XP or later.
