Yeah, but the plan was to generate a log file of the output of make,
then do my FAT32 changes and running it again and diff the log files.
If the making starts to work perhaps a log file from DJ should be
added (to djtst), as "this_worked_at_DJs_compilation.log"?

Yeah, but the test suite (djtst) isn't djlsr! 

As my hack is working for me, I'll probably not work on it any more
(at least not now). This is partly because I don't understand the
structure and the roles of these programs. If there was some
description of this, the likelyhood of me trying to make it work would
increase.


Right,
