Except all the C would have to be rewritten in asm.  *Not* good for
maintainability.

There are some free 16-bit C compilers around (DJ's GCC, and I think
something else written for the 8086 Linux port), but I don't know how
good they are, nor if they have libraries with even the basic stuff that
CWSDPMI uses.
