Description

In order to improve on the supported OS platforms, and to avoid having to scrape the docs (which don't always seem to be accurate), we could build the .winmd multiple times with _WIN32_WINNT set to different versions. By looking at the differences, we could see which APIs are supported in which versions. This would not be part of every build. It would be a step we would run manually in order build up the platform versions input .rsp.
