I have written an EMF (enhanced metafile) exporter which is likely to have troubles on older Windows versions as well, and wonder how bad you find such limitations.
Hmm, so is this a Windows-only code? Does it behave gracefully enough outside of Windows?
Isn't it easy to limit an extension to a particular platform? The Windows-only code wouldn't harm anyone in that case.. besides, do you have any need of EMF on Linux? Did you look at my PDF exporter? That one works okay with pdflatex. Personally I see EMF mainly as something to be used with MS-Word, but maybe I am wrong in that assumption.
Anyway, the needed functions are part of the Windows API, but as far as I know they are re-implemented in libemf. So technically you should be able to use this extension on Linux by linking with libemf. Maybe using libemf would be an option for Win95/98 as well? But I somehow doubt that you would be able to view such an EMF on Win95/98..
