Not just gnulib, but llvm's libc++ as well.  There was discussion about
possibly defining _WIN32_WINNT during libc++ build to win7 to allow the
packaged binaries to continue to work there, but I don't know if there was
a decision to do that, revert the default to win7, or just accept that our
libc++ binaries won't work on win7 anymore.  (I don't care at all about
win 8.0, I don't know if anyone else does...)
