Yes, if Emacs supports obsolete MS-Windows versions that the rest of the=20 GNU world doesn't. If Eli has the time, perhaps he could merge the relevant obsolete=20 MS-windows code into the corresponding Gnulib module. Although this=20 might make the Emacs source cleaner overall, it isn't urgent as it=20 likely wouldn't benefit other GNU projects (which is the point of Gnulib)= .
