The djelf code is available as a user add-on.  It is GPL and
can be used if desired.  It is not copyright compatible with
the DJGPP project and so can't be merged into the CVS
tree without appropriate copyright assignment.

Without a rewrite or assignment it can't be used for
commercial use.  Someone could ask Daniel for
permission/assignment.

Alternatively we could look at DJ's suggestion to
extend COFF as was done under the PE format.
