One of the great selling points for us is that our software works
consistently across most versions of Windows because we don't have code
for specific builds of Windows and GTK handles working on each platform
for us.

Would it be plausible to have support for the 16-bit limit under Win9x
and support for everything else to work outside the 16-bit limit too?
