Of course, you don't have to do it all in one go. I don't expect
applications to make use of the entire Win32 API! If you
don't report the specific problems that affect you, they'll
never get fixed. But if everyone reports them, after a few
rounds, we'll have most of the _WIN32_IE checks that matter for
CE fixed. It may well be that we don't have to fix the whole >200
sites... You've already identified TB_GETOBJECT and friends above. We
could start with fixing that. At some point, there won't
be much else to fix and we'll be golden.
