Hmmmmm....

Well, I have not made many modifications to the source themselves,
except to add a DJGPP conditional to many (but not all!) of the
"DOSISH" compiler conditionals already in the code. Use the configure
options "--disable-dev-random --disable-gnupg-iconv --disable-exec
--disable-photo-viewers --disable-keyserver-helpers
--disable-keyserver-path  --disable-dependency-tracking
--disable-largefile --enable-static-rnd=unix --disable-asm". There is
also a small AF_UNIX kludge and an entrophy hack. I am not really sure
that what I did was right.

I am not very proud of my quick entropy kludge (was more of a
work-around). On the other hand, perhaps someone would have an interest
in developing a real DJGPP-specific entropy solution?

However, the djgpp-gpg binary does pass the entire test suite as-is, so
I felt it was nevertheless suitable for release.
