Death to win9x?

Well, I could sympathize with the idea of removing all broken(/*win9x*/)
and leave only skip() such that the tests don't crash prematurely.

Does test.winehq.org refuse win9x test data since 2010-12-17?
This is not a good idea at all.
We had a couple of real machines that were submitting results, e.g. Saulius's machines.
Even when test failures on win9x are not a criteria for rejecting patches, that
must not mean that we become blind on what happens on the win9x side.

What seems to happen now is overshooting.
 + Don't let testbot run patches against win9x anymore -- ok
    which is quite different from ignoring win9x test failures.
 + Still have them alive for developers     -- great
 - Drop win9x data from test.winehq.org -- WTF?

People are still using many apps written in the win9x era and
not all of those have platinum rating. We still need to know how
those old systems behaved differently.
