First, we need a value for _WIN32_WINNT that specifies Windows 10, in sdkddkver.h:
#define _WIN32_WINNT_WIN10 0x0A00
Yes, we definitely need this; it's even almost sufficient, in isolation, but I think that, for completeness, we should also add the NTDDI_WIN10 sub-version variants, so I committed this.
Additionally, I note that the _WIN32_IE features selectors have not been updated, since IE8, so I also committed this; (curiously, docs.microsoft.com indicates that _WIN32_IE_IE100 and _WIN32_IE_IE110 are characterized by the same value).
To keep this ball rolling, perhaps you (or someone else) would care to propose patches, to address the remaining omissions?

Ticket details:
To compile programs that use the Pseudo Console feature introduced recently with Windows 10, there's a need in several additions to the MinGW w32api headers and import libraries.
First, we need a value for _WIN32_WINNT that specifies Windows 10, in sdkddkver.h:
#define _WIN32_WINNT_WIN10 0x0A00
Second, we need functions, data structures, and macros to create and update lists of attributes for process and thread creation. These are:
InitializeProcThreadAttributeList function
UpdateProcThreadAttribute function
DeleteProcThreadAttributeList function
PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_LIST structure
STARTUPINFOEX structure
PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE macro
Other PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_* macros
These seem to be supported since Windows 7, with the exception of PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE, which is only supported since Windows 10, and STARTUPINFOEX, which is supported since Vista. I think the proper place for them is in the winbase.h header file.
We also need the EXTENDED_STARTUPINFO_PRESENT flag for the CreateProcess function (this flag is supported since Vista and should be in winbase.h).
And finally, we need the functions, data types, and macros to manipulate pseudo-consoles, available only since Windows 10:
CreatePseudoConsole function
ClosePseudoConsole function
ResizePseudoConsole function
HPCON data type
Thanks in advance for providing these.
