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).
