Python 2.5 installer said it's the last version with win98 support. It's current
official stable release of Python. I don't remember that anybody reports about
bzr compatibility with Python 2.6, but may be it's just work. I don't know.

Thanks for this attention to my tiny problems, but I don't use Win98 actively.
Just from time to time (it's not my working machine). So in the light of
recent reducing support for knits I beg to not block new patches because
of my past. win98 support is good enough if it cost toooo little for you guys.

Thank you anyway.
