Yeah, it was me, who asked the question about subsystem versions a
couple of days ago, because first I also thought it was something to do
with versioning, but since then I've been told that every exec & DLL
(including CRT and system stuff) is linked with version 4.0 (except 64
bit programs). Checking the version numbers with DependencyWalker
confirms this.
