 > check always enables the GetTickCount64, because _WIN32_WINNT is usually
 set to 0x0600. This value for _WIN32_WINNT OTOH is *always* required, even
 when targetting XP in order to have access to Vista and later Win32
 structs when the very same executable is supposed to run on later versions
 of Windows.

 Is _WIN32_WINNT_WS08 defined?
