What DLL supports UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices

I'm trying to create a VB friendly API declaration for
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices. However, I cannot seem to locate the DLL
that supports this function. The only reference in the MSDN indicates the
function is declared in newdev.h. Reviewing that file does not reveal what
DLL the function is called into.

I did a view dependencies on setupapi.dll but did not see this function
declared there. Searching Google isn't helping either since everything is in
C which also does not reveal the supporting DLL.

Does anyone know?

On XP at least, there is a newdev.dll in the \system32 folder that exports
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevicesA and UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevicesW.
