Some of headers in vss-win32.h (nterp,h, rpc.h, rpcndr.h, etc) seems
needed to build qemu-ga.exe in a native build environment(mingw on Windows).
In my Fedora 18 environment, these don't cause errors, but it also
succeeded to build even without the headers.

I will try this with some of my old VMs and investigate which headers
are really needed.
