I wonder if there's any way to make this configurable so that
it could be tailored a bit. Is there a way to take action
based on what exe or dll we were called from? Maybe we
shouldn't do it now, but it sounds like it might be
convenient later.
There's code in ntdll (ntdll/ldr/startup.c LoadCompatibilitySettings) which
does this. It uses the exe name to look up a registry entry in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers and
sets the PEB fields accordingly. The PEB fields are then later used in
GetVersionEx(). Doesn't solve the problem for VB though, since it keys on
exe name and not dll name.
