I'm not sure that's a good idea, but if I had to do it I'd be looking in
MSDN at some of Matt Pietrek's articles, there's example code and the whole
blurb to intercept Windows calls.  (Almost as easy as writing an LD_PRELOAD
.so that replaces stuff in libc).  Just simulate the GetVersion call (I
don't recall offhand if you have to do GetVersionA and GetVersionW on 95)
and you should be done.  Provided, that is, that they're not actually making
calls to API's that didn't exist under 95. ;)
