[VOTE] Dropping Win98 Support for 1.7
Considering that we are getting into the swing of releasing Ant 1.7, I
would like to suggest that we drop Win98 support in Ant 1.7. The benefit
will be to allow us to improve the Ant launch batch file as well as not
having to test or support Win98, which we don't really support well now
anyway.
here is my +1

me too: +1
And we can set the default timestamp granularity for windows filesystems
to 1000ms, not 2000ms.
Would ant.Main reject any attempt to run on Win9x, or would we leave
that to -diagnostics to warn that the user was running an unsupported OS.
