As long as you do not statically link libraries that are unavailable
on 9x, it's hardly gonna be a problem.
Anyhow, this probably is more a fpc problem, since most of those are
in windows unit etc.

On Linux we have the same problem with GTK2.

Well, maybe I should have written: I tested the installer for 1.0RC1
on WinMe and it does not run on WinMe.

Anyhow, as long as the fpc installer runs on win9x I'm happy.
And when we drop the win9x platform, I have a valid excuse to update
hardware (although it really is a sport maintaining it).
