What effect does this change really have on the generated binary?
Besides no longer being able to run it on Windows NT and Windows 2K?
I don't see anything getting simpler yet. The docs I find for WINVER
are not very specific.
If we go this way we need to make a binary for Windows 95 available
somewhere. I don't want to leave any user without their editor.
This can be as simple as telling users which old version to use.
