Because it's part of the Visual C++ headers for the msvcrt library.
Visual C++ applications, and there's a lot of them on the Windows
platform, will just do:

#include <io.h>

and thus if we want them to compile with Winelib we need to provide an
io.h header.

Note: even if you don't have Visual C++, you can find this header in the
MS SDK src/crt directory (with all the other msvcrt headers).
