curl requires Windows XP since 2023. Drop version detection code using `GetVersionEx()` aimed to support earlier Windows versions. With that call deleted, the embedded manifest in `curl.rc` becomes unnecessary. Delete it too, along with the enabler logic in build systems. This allows to stop forcing `/MANIFEST:NO` for MSVC builds. Dropping it fixes VS2008 shared builds, that require an auto-generated SxS (side-by-side assembly) manifest to find their CRT DLLs. This was the issue that prevented VS2008 `curl.exe` launching on AppVeyor CI: ``` src/curl.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ``` Ref: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/curlorg/curl/builds/51577006/job/eitypvwlb1rxr11d#L261 FWIW the `curl.rc` embedded manifest wasn't ever enabled for VS2008 CI builds either, because CMake did not pass our custom macro via `CMAKE_RC_FLAGS` to `rc.exe`. For reasons I could not figure out. After this patch the curl build no longer inject its own manifest, and lets the default be applied by linkers and toolchains. It fixes VS2008 shared builds. curl continues to detect the real Windows version via `RtlVerifyVersionInfo()` from `ntdll`. Follow-up to |
