Some googling suggest that it's missing from msvc 2005's headers, if 
that's what you're using.  I'm using msvc 2008 express.  Is it ok to 
just conditionally define it?  The value is 3.

I guess I should run ex_keyboard_events on XP to make sure it's actually 
supported there. The docs just mention win2k.  I'm using win7.  I'll 
test later today.
