Emacs 23.1 and later don't work in windows 98 |

Hi, emacs no longer works under windows 98 since emacs version 23.1.
It worked with version 22.3.
This problem has been already reported at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-emacs-windows/2009-09/msg00042.html
The suggested solution doesn't seem to work.
Note:
should be revised.
Anecdotal note:
I took my chances by posing this problem at #emacs freenode irc channel.
I was told that perhaps it was time to upgrade to windows Me.
I ascertained that this guy didn't work for microsoft.
It serves me right for trying to take a shortcut to posting to the mailing list.
Greetings,
Osl

Thanks. I committed those changes, which completes the solution for
this problem.
This bug is now officially closed. Thanks so much for all your help
during the work on the solution.
