Is there a ** permanent ** link to a version that runs on NT4? I have a
requirement for one, but don't have the tools to build for NT.

Unless someone can come up with a set of flags to MSVC2003 or MSVC2005
to force NT4 compatibility.

I work with a customer who still pays for NT4 support. Given a choice
I'd like to see Microsoft drop support for all versions of Windows.
