What I removed was the narrow win32 api calls and other bits of Windows 98 code.

However, no XP support is a statement of realities along the lines of
to PEP 11† - we can't really claim support for OSes that are not
themselves supported.

We'll likely make a 64-bit Python 2.7 release that may work on most of
the Windows NT lineage , but I don't plan to test that.
