The main reason is that the Config utility prevents the user trying to
specify more disk space than is physically available.  Because it runs on
Windows, and Windows users are (allegedly) stupid and need their hands held
at all times.  And therefore it needs to know how big the disks are.
I'll update the configurator so it links to GetDiskFreeSpaceA at load time
but links to GetDiskFreeSpaceExA at runtime if available.  Not hard.
