V2.0 will NOT have a go32.exe program, so any attempts at fork() will
need to rely on the DPMI services in the application.  Because of
this, very little functionality is being added to the extender that
will not be able to be done in V2.0 applications.

V2.0 alpha is out on ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/dj, but I've decided to redo
the library to be more posix and more efficient.  I've got gcc and
make working already.
