Yes; no.  Yes, a DJGPP port of Gawk is ready since April, pending the next
release.  No, the port was *extremely* easy.  In fact, Gawk 3.0.0 supports
DJGPP out of the box, so only a few minor changes were necessary due to
last-minute changes in DJGPP 2 (it seems that the original DJGPP v2
support was tested with one of the beta versions).
