I just updated to 8.0 and this is not included with it. On Windows 7 64-bit.

It seems that gvimext.dll bundled with the official installer (gvim80.exe) is old. The build timestamp is 2008-08-10.
The nightly builds have newer gvimext.dll: https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/releases

As of the gvim80-586 installer, this is still not included. However it is included in the nightly build as of 8.0.0604.

It is also not included in the "Vim without Cream" build as of 8-0-568

Is this a matter if including a more recent gvimext.dll?
Does the new dll still work on MS-Windows XP (the oldest we support)?

I tested the 604 build on an XP machine, and it seems to work fine. However, the icon is a little off, but maybe that's just how XP works. See attached:
