Hmm, but the "ver" output seems to have more information than those
APIs.

Note: The tables for mapping to releases for Windows only take the
major.minor versions as key. Unfortunately, those did not change. It's
actually the build version which provides the indicator, it seems.

Any idea, whether a patch will fix this on Windows soonish ?
