Why the "#ifdef __MINGW32__"? I suppose the include is harmless anyway.

Yes I would tend to think including <wincrypt.h> would be harmless on Windows, but I don’t have a native Windows to try it out on. Here is a proposed patch anyway. It would be good for someone to be able to confirm it doesn’t break the normal Windows build.

I think this one should be fairly safe; any breakage should be pretty obvious by watching the buildbots.

Issue #17596: MINGW: add wincrypt.h in Python/random.c
https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/11ed7c49f5df

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.
