Speaking for TSVN, I can say that you won't find many people who still
use Win98 or NT4. When we first dropped support for those in TSVN, we
had *some* people still requesting it (I think it was a total of two
people who complained). And that was three years ago.

It would be a small problem if you would drop support for win2k because
some companies still have those around.

r33161 removes the compatibility code from libsvn_ra_serf. (Assumes Windows '95 or NT 4.0 SP3 or later)

r33170 removes the compatibility code from libsvn_subr. (Assumes Windows 2000 or later)

TortoiseSVN's build via NAnt might need a minor update to link to crypt32.lib (libsvn_subr) and secur32.lib (libsvn_ra_serf) after these changes.

Thanks,

Ditto here.  My PowerBook with VirtualPC can only handle W2K nicely.

Heh.  *I* still use win2k when I need to do Windows stuff.  :-)
