win16!  *laughs* *wipes tear from eye*

It's currently 2016.  Perhaps it's time to remove all vestiges of these

p.s. I suspect some of the uses of "rhapsody" are actually live code 
used for OS X.  So this isn't necessarily dead code, some of it is 
merely long-out-of-date comments.

p.p.s. At least there were no references to "taligent", "copland", or 
"gershwin"...!
