As far as I know, the SDK bundled with VS2003 is used.  Nothing in the core
Python sources requires anything later.

pywin32 generally uses a 'recent' one, with #ifdef's used of necessary to
restrict certain functionality to later SDKs (which then makes it my
responsibility to use the latest one referenced in the sources for the final
distributions)

win32file already exposes this function.
