No, MSLU works, as far as I know. But we can't assume its existence. A library that doesn't support Win9x without MSLU will not be useful for users that need to write code that works on a wide variety of machines. Win9x's installed base, although declining, is still significant.
And after I suggested that, I realised that there are compilers other than MSVC :-) Actually given the small number of API's involved, it wouldn't be that hard to wrap them ourselves entirely within the library (ie no separate dll to redistribute etc), but we can still leave worrying about that till after Beman's proved the other concepts work out OK; whatever end up doing, this detail is solvable IMO.
