      SunMSCAPI is unexpectedly dependent on ncrypt.dll

      Java 8 builds for Windows target NT 5.1 for 32-bit releases and NT 5.2 for 64-bit releases.
      However, beginning with 8u251 the native SunMSCAPI library (sunmscapi.dll) is dependent on the "Windows cryptographic library" (ncrypt.dll).
      This dependency doesn't exist in NT 5.1 (XP) or NT 5.2 (2003 32-bit, 2003 64-bit, and XP 64-bit). It only exists in NT 6.0 and later.
