We last supported NT 4.0 with version 0.99.4 (according to
wireshark.nsi, at least). Drop it from the "supported" list and add a note about NT 4.0 and older Windows versions. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@25606 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7

- Tru64 UNIX (formerly Digital UNIX) (3.2 and later)
- Irix (6.5)
- AIX (4.3.2, with a bit of work)
- - Win32 (NT 4.0, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista)
+ - Windows (2000, 2003, XP, Vista)
and possibly on other versions of those OSes. It should run on other
Unix-ish systems without too much trouble.
+If you have an older version of the operating systems listed above, it
+might be supported by an older version of Wireshark. In particular,
+Windows NT 4.0 is supported by Wireshark 0.99.4, and Windows 95, 98, and
+ME are supported by Ethereal 0.99.0.

NOTE: the Makefile appears to depend on GNU "make"; it doesn't appear to
work with the "make" that comes with Solaris 7 nor the BSD "make".
Perl is also needed to create the man page.
