The reason to use wincap is to not ask for operating systems as far
as possible but instead to ask for a specific capabilities of the
system we're just running on. Nobody actually cares if the system
is a 95 OSR2 or a NT4 SP5. CInstead, by using specific capabilities
the code itself answers the question "why are we doing this" e. g.:
if (wincap.has_lseek_bug ())
workaround;
Doesn't that make sense?
