Download it from http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ (dunno how that'll render outside of IE - it's part of an active setup thingy). It's included with the Windows Platform SDK (which is free). > > Not requiring it is the reason we'd include the .BIN file > in CVS.

It's a very large download to get the SDK (180MB) - that's a lot of bandwidth for one little derived file that will almost certainly never change.
