Sure, but what do we gain by such a declaration. AFAICT, the only piece of
code we need to change to support Win98 is the call to SHFetFolderPath.
Thereafter, the only piece of code we need to change to support Win95 is
the call to GetFileAttributesEx, GetLongPathName. Reviewing the existing
code shows that it's unsafe anyway (no handling of errors), so a rewrite
is needed anyway.
