Oh.  I guess I had trusted MSDN's "Compatability" section to mean, "this 
existed in Gold editions of the following OS's", but I see I was dead 
wrong.  Instead, I guess it really means, "The run-time provided with 
this compiler exports this function and can be installed on the 
following OS's".  Thank you for that clarification.

Thanks as well for this (slaps self in head).  As you can tell, I am 
unfamiliar with "configurators".  This is a good lesson, though!
