but evidently it chose the wrong cutoff for when to enable that symbol, because woodlouse is (or claims to be) running VS2013.
It's actually checking the wrong thing, the problem is the version of the Windows SDK, and while the one installed by default with VS2015 might be the right place to cutoff it's not uncommon to have multiple versions of the SDK (and VS) in various combinations.
To check against the SDK you'd need something like:
#include <ntverp.h>
#if VER_PRODUCTBUILD >= 8100
#define _WINSOCK_DEPRECATED_NO_WARNINGS
#endif
Is there any good reason not to just define _WINSOCK_DEPRECATED_NO_WARNINGS unconditionally? Presumably it would have no effect on VS versions too old to know the symbol.
