It is probably a good idea to add the whole slew of `_fmemXXX' and
`_fstrXXX' functions, not only `_fmemset' (things like `_fmemcpy' and
`_fstrlen', for example).
It is not clear to me whether they should assume _dos_ds or allow a
selector as well. Compatibility seems to suggest the former, but far
pointers have an entirely different meaning in DJGPP, so I'm not sure
compatibility applies here (it might even confuse people and cause
bugs).
