Do we need Win95/98/Me support?

I feel that libraries and especially compilers should support 
older systems. I don't like when a library or compiler limits 
what system my program can run on. I'm writing a GUI library in 
D, and I plan on supporting Windows 2000.

In this case, I don't mind dropping 95/98/Me support. They didn't 
have protected memory and being able to rely on the Unicode 
functions is great. Not to mention that MSDN no longer says what 
functions are available on 95/98/Me. But I hope that D will 
support Windows 2000 for a while.
