CWSDPMI is not included in a standard DJGPP executable.

It's not needed at all if you already have DPMI, such
as under Windows.

You can build an executable using CWSDSTUB which does
include CWSDPMI for standalone execution.  But this adds
about 20KB to each image, and makes it much more difficult
to upgrade when a newer version of CWSDPMI is released.
