You're absolutely right :)

both
_WIN32_WINDOWS=0x0410
and
_WIN32_WINNT=0x0500

I was obviosuly wrong in saying that both are never defined :) I should 
get more sleep before posting next time. It should still be ||, though, 
because otherwise you'd always have to declare both, and there's no real 
need.

BTW, wouldn't something like this work for CC:

version(WINAPI_98) {
     version=WINAPI_95;
}

version(WINAPI_ME) {
     version=WINAPI_98;
     version=WINAPI_95;
}

version(WINAPI_95) {
     // win 95 funcs
}

version(WINAPI_98) {
     // funcs new in Win 98
}

version(WINAPI_ME) {
     // funcs new in Win Me
}


Then, when compiling, you can set the api version you want with 
-version=?. If you don't set it, it should probably default to the 
latest known version?
