No, that's not as obvious as you think.

In most cases, loading an app is better than not loading it; even if that's not
what Windows might do, it's much more likely to be the useful behavior.

So yes, for the very specific case of FT_Thunk, since an app requires this we'll
have to remove it. But in the general case crippling the code based on the
configured Windows version is the wrong thing to do.
