How much RAM that machine has? Do you think it is justified to keep
Windows-9X support on Emacs for just a few anecdotal uses? If your
answer is that the extra work it adds is negligible and that you will
keep the maintenance burden, don't you think that keeping a separate
branch for Windows-9X (or any retro-computing platform, for that matter)
would be more adequate, instead of forcing everyone else to go over that
code when they read the sources?
