Even supporting XP is problematic because of the badly broken
thread local storage support for DLLs in it, which D heavily
relies on. I wouldn't say this for a C++ compiler, but for D, I
kinda feel that Windows 7 should be the minimum.
We can certainly ditch all the Windows 9x support.

If Windows 7 is going to be the baseline, it would be nice to
have some updated Win32 libs ship with DMD. They seem to be
rather old and are missing functions that have been added to the
API in recent years.
