Looking at the MSDN documentation it seems this function only exists on
Windows 2003 and Windows XP. Which is very interesting, because I have
it working on one of my 2000 boxes. But I guess I got it through some
patch or other.

I'm going to have to redo it to dynamically load that function and exit
with a proper error message if it's not found. Shouldn't be too hard,
I'll get to it as soon as I can get down for a coding session.

The ugly stuff I assume is the stuff about the mingw broken headers? If
so, no, not related in any way.
