We use functions not available on win9x in a few places. They could be
turned into runtime linking (LoadLibrary() + GetProcAddress()), but I doubt
if that is worth the effort.
Currently, there are two such places:
* finding the home dir
* seeding the random generator
However, the Unicode support will use tens of such functions in a crapload
of places. In theory, this could be handled -- even semi-automated shims
like MSLU do exist -- but it's nowhere near straightforward.
In other words, screw Win98.
