Yeah, for the same reason as win32 can refer to their API that is
used on platforms that are 64-bit, the fact that the "drive letter"
concept came from DOS is so widely ingrained, I do not think it is a
beter change to deviate from it.

And, before any cleanup is done, I sould like to ask if anybody
can build the code with VS and confirm that it works, please ?

Yup, that is much more important.

Thanks.
