I'm not sure what the mechanism by which we're going to notice is?

Adding WIN32_WINNT=0x0a00 everywhere changes the meaning of '#include 
<psapi.h>' in a way that is incompatible with Vista.

So this has broken dumper, and possibly other utils, on Vista.

I don't know if there are any other imports in other header which also 
have this annoying behaviour...
