1873,Windows2000 version requirement impeded build,jkeenan,jkeenan,"[Reported by Patrick Abi Salloum on parrot-dev.  Can some people with access to Win32 take a look at this? --kid51]

I was trying to build parrot RELEASE_2_10_1-477-gfa56f62 on windows 7 for rakudo.

Starting from a clean windows 7 install, I downloaded git version
1.7.3.1.msysgit.0 and strawberry perl 5.10.1.3..

Tried automatically downloading and building parrot by doing
{{{
perl ./Configure.pl --gen-parrot
}}}
From the rakudo folder, parrot was downloaded fine but suring the
build I got an error:
{{{
Minimum requirement for Parrot on Windows is Windows 2000 - 
might want to check windef.h
}}}
in ''config\gen\platform\win32\begin.c''.

I removed the  check `if WINVER < Windows2000` from ''begin.c'' and the build went fine with no other problems.
