New description:
Windows XP hit its end-of-life today (April 8, 2014).
We should identify and drop support code for Windows XP. This is mainly
going to be a matter of identifying cases where we use LoadLibrary and
GetProcAddress to find always-present-functions in always-present DLLs,
and looking for opportunities to move from old busted APIs to fresh new
ones.
I'm making this a separate ticket from #11444 (removing support from pre-
XP versions) since the timing on the two can be argued to be separate.
Nonetheless, if we agree to do both at once, that might be clever.
