Yet another effort at translating the Win32 API headers

[Stewart Gordon]

Comparing the #ifs in MinGW with the information on the MSDN website, 
there seem to be a lot of errors!  But I guess that we can identify 
these combinations in what supports a given entity:

- 95, NT4
- 98, NT4
- ME, NT4
- NT4
- 98, 2000
- ME, 2000
- 2000
- XP
- Server 2003

There's also a lone mysterious _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x510 for a function not 
documented on MSDN.  I'd think it was preparing for Windows Vista, 
except that
- Vista is internally numbered as 6.0
- there's no doubt going to be more than one new function in it
- Vista will have a whole new API anyway

I'm inclined that there are the following versions for the end 
programmer to concern him/herself with:

- for Windows 9x compatibility: Windows98, WindowsME, WindowsNTonly
- for Windows NT compatibility: Windows2000, WindowsXP, Windows2003
- for IE compatibility: IE3, IE4, IE401, IE5, IE501, IE6

which should be mapped to internal versions based on the above list.

The only problem is that, since there's no way at the moment to import 
version manipulation, we'd need to either maintain a copy of the mapping 
code in each module that uses these versions, or use command line files 
to set these versions.  What do people think?
