1. git_master:
 -  May be built with target = vista and will run correctly only on vista
and above
    (this is the default target in openvpn-build if git-master source is
used)
 -  Will support --block-outside-dns when run on vista and above --
undefined behaviour if attempted to run on winxp

2. release/2.3 (and upcoming 2.3.9)
- May be built for target = winxp
  (this is the default target in openvpn-build if release/2.3 source is
used)
- Support for --block-outside-dns determined automatically at run-time:
     when run on vista and above the option will be supported
     when run on winxp the option will be ignored or cause
     a fatal error depending on how it is specified:
        if pushed from a server: just a warning in the logs
        specified in the config: fatal error unless protected by
        ignore-unknown-option or setenv-opt or forward-compatible...

 3. Both should build correctly for 64-bit and 32-bit platforms
