Thanks!  Comments below.

If most other versions of Windows fail with 7143h, I think we shouldn't 
call it unless on NT/W2K/XP.

Please always use the (much more portable) forward slash.  The above will 
not compile in cross-compiled environment.

This is not the right way to test for NT/W2K.  Please use this:

	if (_osmajor == 5
	    && _USE_LFN
	    && _get_dos_version (1) == 0x532)  /* LFN & NT */

There's a typo in the comment here.

I think we should set access date/time as well (using subfunction 05), 
like we do on Windows 9X.  Please see if subfunction 05 works, and if 
so, does it support setting the access time, not only date.

Thanks again for working on this.
