Does it compile to an exe file that will run on an "out of the box"
installation of Win98 / Win XP?

By the way, which specific API calls did you manage to remove? Will it, for
example, produce rotated text to the printer without using them? I'm all for
high level languages removing the need for the programmer to resort to low
level access. How well does NET fare in that respect?
