Based on the other info I posted on the DPMI hosts, I think I'm going
to allow DPMI clients which support DPMI 0401H "Get DPMI Capabilities".
I'm also going to allow Windows 98/SE DPMI, if possible.  This may allow
some clients it shouldn't or block some it shouldn't, but it seems to be
a reasonable solution based on the info I currently have.  There is no
point in overly complicating this.  Most people are likely using CWSDPMI,
CWSDPR0, or PMODEDJ.
