Windows NT-derivatives and Windows 95-derivatives use a significantly
different code base for their filesystems, even to the extent of
having different VFAT behaviour.  Hence shortnames=win95, shortname=winnt.

The last Windows 95-derivative is Windows ME, which is was released
about the same time as Windows 2000.  Windows 2000 is an NT-derivative.

So it might be worth testing against Windows ME.

I don't know what code base is used for Windows CE.  CE is still used,
on phones, PDAs and media players among other things.  Has there been
any testing against CE - current versions and old versions?
