I think we should differentiate between what operating systems
are supported by a given binary package and what operating systems
a Privoxy version is expected to run on when compiled properly.

IMHO we as a project still support Windows XP in
the sense that we answer support requests.

I'd also expect Privoxy 3.0.33 to work on Windows XP when
the user compiles it herself using a tool chain that still
works on Windows XP. We just don't provide binaries for
Windows XP at this time due to lack of resources or interest.
