Yes, if Emacs supports obsolete MS-Windows versions that the rest of the 
GNU world doesn't.

If Eli has the time, perhaps he could merge the relevant obsolete 
MS-windows code into the corresponding Gnulib module. Although this 
might make the Emacs source cleaner overall, it isn't urgent as it 
likely wouldn't benefit other GNU projects (which is the point of Gnulib).
