Where is the hassle? It's just a few lines of code to check windows version. It's easier to code that than to make another configure option.
Then submit a patch.
I have no problem with that scenario. The code in question is mine, but I don't have the ability to play with older versions of Windows. I develop on XP, 2000, Linux and Solaris, and I really don't claim to be much of a Windows programmer, outside of Winsock.
