New submission from Michael Stahl:

building with MSVC2012 and the Windows SDK 8.0 fails

according to this page, the fci.lib is no longer available
and cabinet.lib should be used instead:

"For Windows 8 onward fci.lib and fdi.lib will become private internal libraries and will not included in Windows SDK"

here is a patch to do that:
