For this to work, you'd first need a DJGPP port of Xlib. IIRC, no such
port exists for DJGPP v2. There was an old port for DJGPP 1.x, and Emacs
used to support that port (you can still find the traces of that support
in config.bat and other DJGPP configury stuff in the Emacs distribution).
But no one ported Xlib to DJGPP v2, so by now I'd expect that support to
suffer from a severe bit-rot.
However, if someone comes up with a ported Xlib, I promise to resurrect
its support in the current Emacs sources. As a starting point, a pointer
to the old Xlib port is in the DJGPP FAQ, section 22.4.
