I'd like to remove support for Windows 9x (95, 98(SE), ME) soon from the Python trunk. This would primarily affect all wide-string APIs (which would be considered present unconditionally), as well as certain "new" Win32 functions; in this cleanup, I would also drop support for NT+ before Windows 2000 (i.e. NT 3.1, 3.5(1), 4.0).
I'm not sure whether w9xpopen should be left in place; Tim suggested it should, however, I don't see why (something with alternative command line interpreters IIRC). The 2.5 installer already gives a warning on W9x that this will be the last release. If you object to this plan, please speak up.
