Subject:	GhostScript for DJGPP

I'm looking for ghostscript that will compile under djgpp V2.  I got the 
source code for version 2.6.2 and compiled it under linux fine.  I tried to
compile it for djgpp V2 but there was no makefile suitable.  Apparently it
uses some assembler code for the DOS port which I assume is standard 8086
assembler, NOT AT&T.  

I'm a bit lost when it comes to modifying makefiles for programs this large.
Is there a precompiled version for djgpp V2, or at least the source and/or
set of makefiles/asm files suitable so I can compile it with the minimal
of fuss.

PS. the source for GS comes with makefiles for Turbo C, Turbo C++ and Borland
C++, Microsoft C, WATCOM C++, and of course Unix (and look alikes).

Would anyone with suitable makefiles for GS compiled for djgpp like to contact
the GS developers and get them to support djgpp.  I think they would/should 
prefer the djgpp enviroment because it is the only non-commercial compiler,
which sort of fits in with the GNU policies.

Lets promote djgpp as much as possible.  Thanks DJ and team.
