Considering that it appears in the windows headers in tests like

#if (_MSC_VER >= 800) || defined(_STDCALL_SUPPORTED)

we could guess that it was important in MS C versions before 8.0 (aka 
Visual C++ 1.0, 1993 :-).

Nowadays it is always supported, as "standard call" is the ... eh ... 
standard calling convention for the win32 API.
