Review Request: 7186817 - Remove Windows 95/98/ME Support

[Dan Xu]

Thanks for your good comments.

I have changed access modifiers for methods in WinNTFileSystem.java. 
And the new webrev can be viewed at 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dxu/7186817/webrev.01/

I did not change the hashCode implementation in this version. It will 
need further complete tests and another round of code review. But it is 
a good point to improve our code performance. Please log another bug to 
address this issue. Thanks!

-Dan
