I got the Emacs version numbers wrong. I wasn't suggesting to drop
support for them immediately, but it is increasingly difficult to
continue to support them when no developers are using them, and we
probably need to make some major changes for Emacs 23 which are easier
and produce better results if we use Unicode APIs.

There were two strands of Windows, 95/98/ME which is not Unicode based
and supports unicode only for a few limited uses, and Windows
NT/2000/XP/Vista, which is Unicode based. From Windows XP, the first
strand was dropped and replaced with a crippled version of the second
strand.

Surely we do want to encourage them to upgrade, to a Free OS?
