Hi Corinna,

I just released Cygwin 1.7.19.
What's new:
===========
- Drop support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP pre-SP3.
I find this change interesting. In no way am I complaining about this,
releases matching the above are well past end-of-life anyway.
But I am curious about the technical reason (and perhaps discussion)
that ruled Win 2K out.
I vaguely remember an issue with a broken reference to a W suffixed API
call in the DLL in the past month or two. Was that it?
