If not, I'd like to propose that we phase out that support: the Windows 2.7 installer should display a warning; 3.2 will stop supporting Windows 2000. Is there any reason for this? I can understand dropping Windows 9x due to the lack of Unicode support but is there anything missing from Windows 2000 that makes supporting it difficult?

See http://bugs.python.org/issue6926

The SDK currently hides symbolic constants from us that people are asking for.

In addition, we could simplify the code in dl_nt.c around GetCurrentActCtx and friends, by linking to these functions directly.
