User(s) can reproduce this bug

In "Windows Kits\8.0\Include\um\winbase.h", there is this check:

#if (NTDDI_VERSION >= NTDDI_WIN7SP1)

It controls whether the CopyContext function is pulled in for desktop apps. The NTDDI_WIN7SP1 definition is no where to be found in the SDK. It seems to be missing from "Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared\sdkddkver.h". Adding it as:

#define NTDDI_WIN7SP1 0x06010100

solved a problem I was having with my own definition of CopyContext in a header generated from IDL. Please fix this!

Also update http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa383745(v=vs.85).aspx. This page also needs some work in the "Windows 7 with SP1" note regarding VS2012: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh134234(v=VS.85).aspx.

NTDDI_WIN7SP1 is missing from 8.0 SDK

NTDDI_WIN7SP1 should be in sdkddkver.h. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa383745(v=vs.85).aspx should be updated.
