Actually, I'm wrong - there are functions enough to determine the
version. So here's a patch that tries that.

(BTW, the document is actually incorrect - partially because the
version that's shipped with Windows 2003 which is 5.2, is more or less
undocumented)


Let me know how that one works for you, and if it doesn't, whether it
does actually detect any of those higher versions by searching for the
functions.
