I don't see what resources you're talking about.
From where I stand, you're suggesting to "waste precious resources"
trying to make the code hypothetically work in Windows-98, whereas I'm
suggesting we don't do that and let other people come whining if they
suffer the consequences.

I'm not sure how that would happen: if noone tries to run current Emacs
on Windows-98 any more, then we'll never discover that it doesn't run
there any more.
So in this context, what would be a scenario where it would die?
Stefan
