I suppose I could, but it would be a LOT of work (everything seems to
be geared to use the file table (which holds all files - input files,
temporary files, system headers, lclint definition files, ...).
Simply adding the calls to the cleanup proc was a simpler solution
(and did not require me to grok all the source).
Maybe such changes can be made later - for now my goals are to
 a) autoconfiscate the tarball such that the build process is more
    or less identical to the current system (using a manually hacked
    configure script produced by autoconf 2.12 - ouch!)
 b) get a DJGPP build to work
