Well, we figured out how to handle *that* problem with go32 :-)

Hey!  I resent that remark ;-) Library emulation for native compilers
is less than emulation for common unix functions (getmntent).  Making
it easy for DOS developers to switch to a 32-bit environment is
important if you want people to use djgpp.  Making it easy for unix
developers to port their applications to DOS is important if you want
people to use djgpp.  Making DOS look like Unix is a side affect, not
a goal.
