A Mingw user just asked me about protoize for Mingw, and turns out that
it just doesn't work (mostly handling pathnames, and some text vs binary
issues). He also mentioned that he'd originally tried djgpp and it 
doesn't work there either, which makes sense now that I've taken a 
closer look.

I have fixes against 2.95.2 that should make it work under DJGPP, but 
it may require a few tweaks (such as __DJGPP__ in addition to whatever
macros I'm using currently). Email if interested.

Of course, if it already works for djgpp, please ignore this.

Regards,
Mumit
