After thinking about it some more, I opted for the "always try the new
call first, and try the old one if the new one fails."  This is
reasonably safe to do under DOS (as opposed to the BIOS), as DOS will
return a reliable "not implemented" error code.

I have updated the precompiled binary; the actual source is in my git tree.
