That's "moot", no? Anyway, I'm perfectly happy with such a decision and
hope I didn't cause too much angst getting to this point. Thanks for the
wake up call.

Practically speaking, it doesn't impact my own code anyway as I need
something like this to enable the executable to run on Win95:

// GetLongPathNameA requires WINVER == 0x0500.
#if defined(__MINGW32__) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
# define WINVER 0x0500
#endif

#include <windows.h>

#ifdef HAVE_NEWAPIS_H
# define WINVER 0x0500
# define WANT_GETFILEATTRIBUTESEX_WRAPPER
# define WANT_GETLONGPATHNAME_WRAPPER
# include <NewAPIs.h>
#endif

Now on to the next problem :)
