I actually own a copy of NT 4 (I didn't pay for it - MS was handing them out at 
the launch to anyone who didn't run away fast enough).  I could install it in a 
VM and test GNUstep if we actually care about this platform.  I think I 
actually have it installed on a P233 that I use for resting my coffee cup when 
I'm sitting in a comfy chair, but I've not tried booting that machine for 4-5 
years, so I might have NetBSD or something else random installed instead...

Given that I haven't run NT4 for almost a decade, I don't especially think it's 
worth supporting, and if even Riccardo doesn't run it, probably no one else 
does either...
