Since dmd v2.053 RtlCaptureContext function (minimum supported client Windows
XP) is in file
runtime\src\core\sys\windows\stacktrace.d

So on Windows 2000 you have "Entry point not found" error when any D2 program
starts (e.g "void main() { }" program).

I'll understand, if Windows 2000 is not supported any more. I think it can be
supported, but if community doesn't want, so be it. But this undefined
behaviour is very bad. Please write supported operating systems somewhere in
plain view (e.g. in Requirements and Downloads section of
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-windows.html). And in write in changelog
"... OS is not supported any more".

Since some previous version, you have no command line arguments on Windows 98,
but in std.file there are a lot of code aimed to support this OS. It's very
confusing. So, please, write what systems are supported. "operating system,
such as Windows XP" is sounds very obscure (and it is).
