It is supposed to come from the Platform SDK.  The WSD header isn't
included in the SDK, and headers for the IP helper and performance
monitor structures aren't included in the DDK.  You need to set the
environment variable PLATFORM_SDK_PATH to the path, without spaces, to
the platform SDK.  Only headers are used from the SDK, all libraries
still come from the DDK.

I've updated the Windows FAQ's How To Build section with information
about both of these environment variables.

Thanks for reporting this.
