Why does latest PHP for Windows include outdated ntwdblib.dll??

I just spent a good hour or so trying to figure out why
mssql_connect() wouldn't connect to a SQL Server 2005 DB. It came
down to the ntwdblib.dll included in the install package being out of
date, so I grabbed this one, as many users pointed out:

Why isn't this included by default in the latest PHP for Windows
package? I find that a bit odd...
