Windows9x has all W functions, Microsoft added them as stubs to avoid
this kind of problem. They all exist and they all simply don't do
anything so a runtime check is appropriate. There will be no
unresolved imports error. We do this in a similar fashion in Lazarus
since maybe 5 years without problems and it always ran correctly in
Windows 9x.
