Annoyance! As it turns out, the latest smalltalk package requires mmap(),
so it won't work out-of-the-box on DJGPP at all (and since I don't think
many MSDOS environments have mmap(), also renders the MSDOS support it
has useless).
I'll check if there's a way to excise the mmap()-related code (smalltalk
1.7 didn't use it, so it might be possible); if not, I think we may be
screwed(tm) - until we have mmap() too, that is.
