We could say that "Win9x/ME doesn't work" anymore (and maybe we should 
check the version somewhere, before windows are opened, because I saw 
that Win98 processes hung somewhere), and that "WinNT is not supported" 
anymore, but _may_ work, if the user is lucky enough. Until another 
addition really breaks it.

OTOH, if we don't drop NT completely, there may be questions like "how 
can I install a UTF-8-enabled font under WinNT ?" in the fltk news 
groups, and I think that IME support is not available at all.
