Well, I don't see any reason to drop Windows 9X support at least now.
Support for these old Windows flavors isn't very important
(I rather like to see how Maxima works or doesn't work on Vista)
but it doesn't require much efforts to maintain and I still
have at least one Windows Me machine around to test Maxima.
As for Win95 compatibility in maxima.bat we can create two
copies of this script one for Windows 9X and another for
Windows 2000 and instruct Maxima installer to install
appropriate variant depending on the host system.
