I agree that we shouldn't force anyone to upgrade to newer Windoze versions
to run Emacs.
However, the current implementation of sys_select is sub-optimal and
doesn't support all the features of make-network-process (e.g.
non-blocking connects), so fixing the code as suggested would be
really good.
Does W95/98/ME have a working winsock2 implementation?
If so, I suggest someone try to make the changes and test them on W95/98/ME.
If it works -- great.
Otherwise, it should be possible to keep both the old and the new code
(e.g. by making two sys_select_new and sys_select_old functions, and
choose the right one at run-time.)
