ugh.  I found that but wasn't using msie so the js errors kept be from
seeing the dropdowns.

for the archives, I also needed the Internet Developer SDK to resolve some
issues with winldap.h calling missing files.  actually, all of ldap was a
pain - I ended up disabling mod_auth_ldap to get past the issues.

I have the file but no declaration.  the core sdk conains the file as well
with the declaration, so adding the sdk include path before the visual
