Yeah, I found that out.  So I had to hunt down IE4 separately and
install that in a second Win95 VM.  Then I have 5.0 in 98SE, 5.5 in
WinMe, and I'll do a second WinMe VM with IE6.

Actually, it turns out that PNG images are shown (but without
alphachannel transparency, of course) in IE from 4.01 up.  Also
there's basic CSS support starting in 4.01, so the colors are largely
right, and the layout partly works, although there's some weirdness
there.  (In fact, I'm having a hard time finding any differences (at
least, any that manifest themselves on the OCAL site) between 4.01 and
5.0, though they have clear and obvious differences from 3.0.)

Right now I need to focus on the 0.10 release, but hopefully
after that I'll have time to say more about the IE testing.
