Thanks for the suggestion, Scorpio.

Unfortunately, file dates are notoriously unreliable for this type of point-in-time detection,
because this assumes that winSPWW2 is the exclusive creator of savegames.

It works perfectly with savegames created by winSPWW3 only, but it breaks down with
savegames that are created by other means (for example when savegames are copied
back from a backup location).
