It already is - the GetBestRoute2() stuff is not available on XP, and since
we decide long ago that we'll stop XP support in 2.4 if it becomes too
painful, this was the point of no return.
Theoretically, this could be handled at runtime (try to open the right
library and find the symbol, and if the library is not there, just disable
the functionality) but this is something we did not consider important - we
do not care about XP in 2.4, period :-)
If someone really *really* cares about XP support in 2.4 and submits clean
patches that do not cause extra build work for Samuli, we might reconsider
- but hey, XP is really dead (and who wants XP can still just stick to 2.3.x
which we'll continue supporting for a while)
