Charles & Eli,

Thanks for all the help, patches, suggestions, support and being so patient
with me trying to get DJGPP working on Windows 2000.

I can now report that with the Charles's Windows 2000/sbrk patch and the
latest tarball I have now been able to build make on Windwos 2000 and then
use the new make to then re-build make again.

I will now start the process of building the following:
    1) DJGPP cvs tarball
    2) GCC 2.9.5.3
    3) Binutils

Once this is done in a few hours I will gice a another update.

I used the crt0fix.pat patch.
