Qt should bring its own Unicode & text layout facilities to Windows. The 
last time I actually wrote anything in Qt was back in 1996, when Win95 
was actually current, and I believe it did then.

The only reason for which you would need to worry about Unicode 
capabilities on 9x would be if you were depending on platform native 
methods.

(This is just informative. I haven't changed my opinion in the last 2 
minutes, and still wouldn't bother supporting 9x--but especially not 95.)
