For one implementation see thread beginning with

Following mail contains link to at least partial implementation

I guess we have all time followed wrong approach to try to get all completely perfect before trying 
to commit something to CVS. The result usually was endless discussions about it and at end life 
went on, work already done was forgotten buried in mailing list archives and maybe sometimes even 
lost (original URL to proposed additions broken, so lost unless somebody accidentally still have 
copy somewhere on HDD) and nothing was committed to CVS. Fortunately above mentioned implementation 
will not get lost as it is already on delorie.com.

This approach could be OK if we would have number of developers like such projects as GCC. We do 
not have resources for it.

One need to get stuff in CVS to have something to work on and fix possible problems after that.

I'm afraid that otherwise the history will repeat: some discussion (perhaps shorter than 10 or more 
years ago) and after that really nothing achieved.

I guess it maybe time to realize shortness of our resources and if nothing changes on our side 
deprecate DJGPP port of GCC in version 11 with possible later removal in version 12. It is not my 
decision though.
