Who said I didn't check the history of this file before committing?

This file was added to the Windows SDK in 1990. (Either the 16 bit Windows 3.X days or the start of the NT product line; at least well before it was called platform SDK).

So it was probably part of Visual C++ 2.0 (The first 32 bit version) and every public platform SDK ever released, while we document in INSTALL that you should have

* A recent Windows SDK if you are using Visual Studio 6.
        You can get it from MSDN if you have it or from
        http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ if you
        don't.

The only problem with this documentation is that newer platform SDK versions dropped support of Visual C++ 6.0, so you probably should get the Windows XP version of the SDK instead of any newer version.
