Why ``fix'' that which isn't broken?  Emacs still supports platforms

reasons for such a crusade against W9x build capabilities, nor any
reason to assume that no one builds Emacs on those old versions of
Windows.

There must be some reason: I frequently try to build Emacs on WindowsME
and so far have not been able to retrieve a source which installs me a
menubar.  Hence, I always have to patch `w32menu.c' before compiling.  I
know of at least one person who acquired Win2K - which BTW is older than
ME - to get around this problem.  When Emacs 22.1 is released some 9x
users will switch to XP.  I slowly begin to understand how people like
Bill Gates make their fortune.
