I thought the windows way of handling this was to return an error
value when the function is not supported. In this case, we could fall
back to the old one.
I do not understand very well how windows handles this API versionning
stuff, but I want to know :)
If you link against an API function that does not exist, like
AddFontResourceEx on Win9x/ME, the application won't start. There are
however compiler options to delay the load of a function.
I think AddFontResource is fine, the only difference is that the font
becomes available for other application as well after you have started LyX.
