In Makefile.PL, the empty artypes.ph is generated from a block with the 
following condition:

if( ($ARSVERSION >= 5.0) && /^nt/ ) {
.....

To me it looks like artypes.ph ceased to be relevant with the 
introduction of ARS 5.0, when the NT API functions where disposed.
Since we don't support the 4.X API anymore, artypes.ph can probably be 
removed, as well as ARSnt-h.pm and ARSnterrno-h.pm.
