    There's no question that the Windows port should continue supporting
    *running* in old W95 and W98 machines, but it is really worthwhile to
    continue supporting *building* on those machines?

Yes.

    I'd bet Emacs users on W95/98 do use binary tarballs and don't build
    their own Emacs.

If they encounter bugs, we will ASK them to build from the source,
so it ought to build from the source.
