When is it appropriate, and when not?  I don't know, and your patch
doesn't explain that.  See below for more on why it's confusing.

if (osver.dwMajorVersion>= 5 || osver.dwPlatformId  ==
VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT)
would be equivalent.  The stuff in that block is only for NT/2k+.  In 9x
more we *don't* do that.
Let me say it again:  the condition you've written doesn't return TRUE
when running NT4 mode.  Why is that, and what's that got to do with
Win9x?  If this wasn't intended, then your check if wrong.  If it was,
then the commit message is wrong.  In either case, something is wrong
with your patch as it is.

In NT4 mode:
(osver.dwMajorVersion>= 5) is FALSE.
(osver.dwPlatformId != VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS) is TRUE.
(osver.dwMajorVersion>= 5 || osver.dwPlatformId != VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS) is TRUE.
Right?
