I suggest we create a new global: extern short _os_true_version
so we can change this to:

      if (_USE_LFN && _os_true_version == 0x532)
      
I can see several places we will need this comparison in the future.
Maybe we make a define for 0x532 to be WINNT ...

Or store a byte to flag LFN and W2K combined?

But don't delay the utime patch on this basis!
