I was just playing around with NT4 under VMware and it seems the out of
the box it lacks wininet.dll but it is present after I chose to install
"Internet Explorer 3.01" from the list of optional components. After
doing that cygcheck -p works successfully. I guess that makes sense.
I can still look into doing autoload for cygcheck but I'm not sure how
that would work exactly since it's not just a simple "is this NT4,
y/n". It could explicitly do loadlibrary("wininet.dll") and then just
bail with a "Your system doesn't support this" message though.
