No, that's not how it works. We define _WIN32_WINNT in qemu/osdep.h,
and this causes the Windows headers to hide any functions that post-date
that version.

This is similar to how you might set _POSIX_C_SOURCE / _XOPEN_SOURCE
to control UNIX header visibility.

IOW, the use of visual studio shouldn't affect it.

I'd just go for GlobalMemoryStatusEx  like Stefan suggests. We use this
in libvirt and GNULIB already and it does the job.
