For the record, the first error without this patch is

../Python/random.c:26:1: error: unknown type name 'HCRYPTPROV'

According to <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa382471%28v=vs.85%29.aspx>, the header to use is <Wincrypt.h>, but we use lowercase <wincrypt.h> to avoid a problem with case sensitivity.
