Because this is a complicated task which calls for a dedicated team of
programmers to do right.  Since nobody besides the author of RSXNT has
volunteered to sit down and do that, and since a number of free
Win32-based development environments already exist (see section 3.6 of
the FAQ), it seems like a waste of effort to try to reinvent RSXNT.
If you think DJGPP should support Win32, I would suggest to put your
efforts into improving RSXNT instead of reinventing it.
