See this thread (
https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201501/msg00026.html) about
windows build instructions.

MS has dropped the file from the SDK for 8.x, so you have to copy the file
from a 7.x SDK which should have been installed along with VS2013.

I seem to have not completed the task of updating the build instructions.
