It's not capitalized in the 30 instances of '#include <windows.h>' in 
Boost header files, including 3 from Boost.Test, and it's not 
capitalized on my file system.  It's also not capitalized on the 
Wikipedia page, it's not /consistently/ capitalized by Microsoft 
themselves, and even Microsoft are switching to lower case where 
portability matters: see 
https://github.com/Microsoft/WinObjC/commit/9e55e2a7cb67fe9a4b3fffb491f7eb621c4ca0b5.
