IIRC this code was a counter-measure, that is Windows was toggling the 
Capslock off when shift was pressed and not toggling it off on a second 
press on Capslock (until the next shift).  In order to mimic the Linux 
behaviour, you therefore needed to simulate a Capslock keypress on these 
events.

Are you saying that Windows now mimics the Linux behaviour by default?
