Charles meant to say that the NT4+NTLFN combo is treated by the 
work-arounds as if it were W2K or XP.  These work-arounds issue 
additional DOS calls, which are completely unnecessary in the case of 
NTLFN, since its LFN support doesn't have any of the bugs we found in 
W2K.

So we simply punish NTLFN users, for no good reason (well, there is a 
reason: the way we detect W2K cannot distinguish between these two system 
configurations).
