The stuff in that block is for win2k+ mode only.  Win9x doesn't add 
[Total|Avail]Phys to [Total|Avail]PageFile.  If wine is in win9x mode it 
should behave like win9x, or it confuses old apps.  This is needed for 
the 2nd patch, IIRC removing the photoshop 4 hack in 
GlobalMemoryStatus() screws up programs like Adobe Illustrator 8 in 
win98 mode without it.
