cygpath and SHGetSpecialFolderPath

While reading the thread about the cygpath problem, I looked into the
code and found that the code is using SHGetSpecialFolderLocation/
SHGetPathFromIDList.  The same output could be achieved by just calling
SHGetSpecialFolderPath.  The only problem with this function is that
it expects IE4 to be installed.  Is that a showstopper for using that
function in cygpath?  Does anybody honestly still use an IE < 4.0?
