Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:6 nickm]:
 > Strange!  Aren't we already including windows.h ?

 MinGW's WinBase.h doesn't contain SecureZeroMemory.
 (Their other memory setting functions #define down to memset, so this is
 probably just as well.)

 We'll need to AC_CHECK_FUNC for SecureZeroMemory in configure, like in
 #7419. (Do we have to include windows.h explicitly, or will configure pick
 it up automatically?)
