V2.03 update status:
  Dec 02 - First refresh release to djgpp-workers
  Dec 11 - Second release (fixes based on first release)
  Dec 15 - GNU distributions added based on Dec 11 release
  Dec 18 - Public Beta Announcement
  Dec 20 - 193 users have downloaded 1107 distributions
           Only reported problem is command line length limit change 
           with make + bash interaction
  Dec 21 - 233 users have downloaded 1376 distributions

So far it's going well.  I'm still a little concerned about the command
line length issue - the original poster insists it works using the 
original files from Simtel.  I see failures using the original files
from Simtel at the exact same failure point - but I was testing under 
NT 4.0 (not Windows 98).  I will try a small test on Win98 - and if I
can't determine if there has been a change get more information.

Does anyone know if either bash 2.04 on Simtel (6/30/01) or 
make (7/14/00) were built with non-2.03 library enhancements?  Both 
contain 2.03 ident strings; but the bash 2.04 on simtel is around 
3.5K bigger than the one I built with the refresh (could be binutils
or whatever).
