Agreed. The GCJ docs discuss porting the thread layer, the file handling
layer, and the signal handling layer. Of these, I think that threading and
signal support would be the most challenging since DOS doesn't provide support
for either (there might also be some DPMI issues, too).
Hmm . . . I think I'll have to take a look at the sources and see what would
be involved.
