definitely win98-specific. I don't recall that ever working, but
the last time I noticed and reported it was when our HaRe tests 
were suspiciuously more successful on win98 than on winxp:-)

well, the whole report was about win98 issues (mostly resolved),
assuming that you can test on winxp yourself (although I also 
tested things like Tess.hs while I was at it, and things like glut
missing will apply to all mingw snapshots).
