You should not check the Windows version, you should only check the
actual behavior. Also I think IS_STRING_ITEM is fine, there's no
reason to add _ONLY since there's no other macro that would do a less
specific test.

Naming can be bad, misleading and ambiguous by itself. I may not have
come up with something really pretty, but I hoped to avoid possible
confusion that caused a wrong patch like :

http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-January/023257.html

to be sent in.

The name IS_STRING_ITEM seems to test if it is a string item. That
actually was its meaning until a few weeks ago. Not now because any menu
item can have a string, the places where it is still used are those
where absence of other flags is the concern.
