I understand that it is a lot of work for Phobos and for the run
time.
So we should put an XP+ requirement on the libraries, agreed.
I also know writing your own "stub libraries" is a lot of work,
but that is OK.
1) I just asking that we try to keep the XP+ requirement out of
DMD,
not the libraries.
2) I am also asking this only if it is not a lot of work.
When it becomes difficult than stop doing the win2k support.
Is it already difficult to keep the XP+ requirement out of the
DMD compiler?
Is it a few lines of code or is it a big fix?
I think 2.053 was the last version that supported win2k.
