WS_BORDER existed for most controls simply because Win32lib started out without
*any* _EX_ styles at all, and
WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE was simply 'overlaid' when it was first added.
Also should be remembered that Win32lib was originally running under a subsystem
3.0.10 exw.exe, which probably
influenced a lot of it's 'mucking-about' with various style flags.
