[Mingw-w64-public] MB_CUR_MAX breaks 2K/NT4 applications

So apparently, two years ago, someone decided to break all Windows 2K/NT4 applications that use MB_CUR_MAX. See also: https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/36107291/ What I don't understand is why there isn't a simple "#if WINVER >= 0x0501" so that applications that are specifically

[Mingw-w64-public] CRT uses POSIX functions.

I'm a huge fan of POSIX but POSIX functions should not be used in the MinGW-w64 CRT code as they are now. Using them in this way creates mandatory dependencies on additional libraries (e.g. MSVCRT). Since all libraries ultimately rely on Kernel32, it only makes sense to replace these POSIX functi
