Will the resulting installer still install a working version of Python
on old versions of Windows, like win95 and win98?  I presume this will
require that the MSI support is present on the target system; does
this exist for Win95 etc?  How about Windows NT 4.0?  If not, what's
the oldest Windows version still supported?
