I'm willing to allow someone to produce such a package (source and
binary zips) for Simtel.Net, but I won't support it myself.  I think
this would be a good addition to DJGPP, but my own time constraints
limit me to supporting the FSF's pristine version.

It will go in the v2gnu directory anyway, because it is a gnu program.
