Not to be a damper or anything, but isn't DJGPP big enough already as it
is? adding the Emacs distribution might in all likelihood double its size!
*cringe* this is something like the pattern for all software.. gets bigger
and bigger. I used to run DJGPP 1.12 on a 2MB 386SX: slow, but usable.
With these new goodies, I doubt anyone will want to run it on anything
less than an 8MB 486DX2..

Cheers,
