All source diffs posted to djgpp are stored and I always attempt to
merge them with the official sources.  I won't/can't merge them if:

(1) it's terribly difficult to do so due to conflicting changes with other
diffs

(2) adding one diffs makes multiple functional changes (please post
them separately in case I've already fixed one of the functions)

(3) the copyrights conflict with go32's copyrights.  GPL is NOT
acceptable.

(4) They break something else.

I don't have time to add every feature everyone wants, but I do have
time to apply diffs that will make the program better.  Hopefully,
when my life settles down again (Ha!) I can get back to work full time
on go32.  Maybe even start on go32 v2.0!
