Presumably Markus Moeller would know the reason, but a quick search
yeilds that GetUserNameEx() and similar functions rely on
secur32.lib/dl. Maybe the use of this function or from that family of
functions is the reason. The documentation also says that Windows 2000
of some variety is the minimum requirement when using this library..
All speculation on my part, since I have no idea what's in the patch,
of course.
