dos: always try the FAT32-aware direct I/O calls first
Always try the FAT32-aware direct I/O calls before trying the legacy
raw I/O calls. The reason for doing this is that the FAT32 stuff may
be implemented as an add-on.

dos: DOS version 7.10 is 0x070a, not 0x0710...
Fix DOS version 7.10 (first FAT32-capable version) check.
Perhaps we should just call the FAT32 calls blindly and fall back to
the old calls if they fail?

dos: try to handle both raw DOS mode and Windows mode
The locking API works very different in raw DOS mode and in Windows
mode. The hierarchial locking is only available in the latter mode;
in the former mode we can only use levels 0 and 4.

At least under WinME, the DOS installer did not work as advertised.
With these modifications, it seems to work okay.
