I would like to avoid making changes for which we don't have a good
reason and a clear test case.  So if you can spot any significant
differences in menus depending on whether AppendMenuW comes from
unicows.dll or elsewhere, please show them, and let's take it from
there.  If there are no significant differences, I'd prefer not to
rock the boat more than necessary.

Thanks.
