Ah, that's right, the updated version of the GLib dll does not
support win2k.
Perhaps we should put out a version of gretl 1.9.4 with support
for old systems (Windows 2000 and non-SSE2 processors), once we've
figured out exactly what has to be done to make that work.
Some data from MS themselves: "Support for Windows 2000 ended on July
13, 2010. Microsoft is no longer producing public monthly security
updates or service packs."
But there's still some time left for XP: "April 8, 2014"
