I'm fed up with working around broken and missing functionality in NT4 for the tests - its taken longer sometimes than writing the code!
Yeah, that's why I hope at some point we will obsolete NT4 just like we did with Win9x, but that's a subject for separated discussion. Let's concentrate on skipping individual tests for now.
Who makes this decision, and if agreed,
It's the usual, someone has to write a patch, send it and see if anyone objects and is accepted by Alexandre. In this case I don't expect anyone to object.
how is the skipping done?
See cmd_available in batch.c. The easiest way to skip NT4 would be probably to change it to return FALSE on this platform. Note that you can't explicitly test windows version, but if something like running a script that you know that fails only on NT4 would do the trick.
