I've decided to leave the max. handler check as it is for now. That will
give us 9 overlay slots even on win7 x64.
If we want to remove one handler, I would suggest to remove the 'added'
handler and use the 'modified' handler for added items too.
Or the 'deleted' handler, since deleted files are gone, only deleted
folders would have that overlay.
Or maybe not remove those handlers but just change the code so that
'added' and 'deleted' are the first handlers to go, before the
'unversioned' handler.
