this header (as the only one #included here) belongs to Platform SDK. It 
should be in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\include" . It 
certainly belongs to Microsoft Windows Core SDK - April 2005 edition. 
Could you pls. check this on your computer? If you have this file, did 
you added the directory to INCLUDE? To which one? If you have VC80_ROOT 
set, you also need to have VS80COMNTOOLS set, as it is used by 
%VC80_ROOT%\vcvarsall.bat , and the Platform SDK\include directory 
should be *manually* added to %VS80COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat  If you have 
MSVCDir set, then you just need to have this directory in your INCLUDE .

I tested it on Visual C++ 2005 Express with Platform SDK April 2005 
edition.

I called vc8 compiler with /P option on libs\python\src\numeric.cpp to 
see preprocessor output. I also added #error directive in 
boost\python\detail\wrap_python.hpp just after # define _DEBUG to cut 
irrelevant output. Then I filtered all headers ("#line 1" in 
preprocessor output) that are not from boost nor python.
