This patch enables the w32lib wrapper to work with versions of Windows 98 (tested)
and theoretically all other versions of Windows.

If your program calls a function that is not available to your version of Windows your
program will tell you that the function cannot be linked and then crash.  You should
check with WINDOWS_VERSION at the beginning of your program so your program
can exit more nicely.

To use this patch get into the directory above your winlib32 wrapper directory, 
rename your winlib32 wrapper directory to 007001, 
put a copy of this patch in that directory,
and execute:·
patch -p0  < win32lib_0_70_1forW9X.diff
