Did this ever work on NT?  I think it won't, because
`_get_dos_version' doesn't set `_osmajor' and `_osminor' to the true
version it computes when called with a non-zero argument (this is
specifically explained in the docs), it only returns that version
number to the caller.

So the test for NT should be rewritten like so:

   nt_detected = _get_dos_version(1) == 0x0532;
