Please, no. Ignoring server Windows versions is a huge mistake, and their
version numbers go in the same pace as the client ones.
Personally, I don't think that distro detection belongs in Phobos. It
seems way too undocumented and unstandardized.

I think it's less messy than pretending that all but certain popular
Windows versions don't exist.
What about the dynamic array idea for version number representation and
comparison? Would that work? It seems to me like a nice clean solution.
