That's not entirely true.  Here's what the June 2001 SDK says:

Remarks:
Windows 98/Me: Although CopyFileExW exists on Windows 98/Me, it is 
supported by the Microsoft Layer for Unicode to provide more consistent 
behavior across all Windows operating systems. To use this, you must add 
certain files to your application, as outlined in Microsoft Layer for 
Unicode on Windows 95/98/Me Systems.

Requirements: 
  Windows NT/2000/XP: Included in Windows NT 4.0 and later.
  Windows 95/98/Me: Included in Windows 98 and later.
  Header: Declared in Winbase.h; include Windows.h.
  Library: Use Kernel32.lib.
  Unicode: Implemented as Unicode and ANSI versions.

This indicates that it might be tricky to support accross all platforms.
