at least a start :)

It looks like even more functions were shuffled around or missing in
these versions of windows. To make sure I catch _all_ of these missing
functions I could really need a so called "Dependency Walker Image"
created on one of these systems. These contain a list of all DLLs and
functions used by a given application.

Please try doing the following:
- Grab http://www.dependencywalker.com/depends22_x64.zip and unpack it
somewhere
- Open gkrellm.exe in Dependency Walker
- You will probably see a few warnings already in the lower panel
- Choose File -> Save As... from the mainmenu and save in DWI format
- If possible use zip, rar or 7zip on the created .dwi file, it's quite big
- Mail me the achived .dwi file (better not mail it to this list, others
won't have any use for it)

I have already pinpointed the libraries that I need to rebuild in order
to get rid of the above message about "strnlen" but with the above .dwi
file we can make sure that there's not even more missing functions.
Otherwise fixing one missing dependency at a time would probably end up
in a constant back and forth of mails.

Bye
Stefan
