Shouldn't it be possible to bind the special version of go32.exe to the
emacs binary... either using copy /b go32.exe+emacs emacs.exe, or using
aout2exe or coff2exe, depending on what oemacs was built with (I'm not sure
on this point).

This seems to me like it would be a better solution, considering that this
go32 won't be used with anything else, and if one part of omacs is
upgraded, the other probably will be as well.
