It looks like we don't need to ship setupapi.h at all. I deleted this file from libconcord, made sure I had the Microsoft Platform SDK installed, opened the .sln file using MS Visual Studio 2005 Express, adjusted the include paths to point at the platform SDK, and everything builds just fine. By my understanding, development on Windows pretty much always requires both a C compiler and a platform SDK installation, so this shouldn't be anything new to people building apps from source on Windows. So, it seems we can remove setupapi.h from CVS, and add notes to INSTALL.windows that the platform SDK is required.
