I think this is rather serious. IMHO, FB won't start in Win9x if a
statically linked entry point cannot be found. The MsSDK says:

Requirements
  Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows NT 4.0 or later.
  Windows 95/98: Unsupported.

I don't know if Mike has seen this message before me, but if there's nothing
changed in the CVS, I'm going to update it.
