I wasn't thinking about stability (although my Windows 98SE machine stays
up for months on end without crashing). I was talking about usability
and back-compatibility. Too many old programs don't work on W2K/XP, and
too many little but valuable features are unavailable there but available
in 98SE.

I think the real problem with that is not COMMAND.COM per se (after all,
the MS-DOS build uses _only_ COMMAND.COM and doesn't have any trouble),
but rather the need to support COMMAND.COM, CMD.EXE, and the Cygwin/MinGW
environment at the same time and with the same Makefile's.
