People always make lots of excuses for not supporting DJGPP. But
there's a big difference between, "I don't know how to get it to build
on DJGPP" and "Don't care, won't integrate your changes, use your
builds, or even try to use DOS-friendly tools." A lot of things that
used to support DJGPP fine aren't supported anymore. It's not always
an unlucky accident, that's all I'm saying.
