Regarding a question I asked previously about building programs that will
accept long command lines from djgpp's make.  I got the sources from FSF
and built a version of "cp".  It does indeed take long command lines, but
not quite long enough.  It fails at around 200 args/2500 bytes.  Is this
a buffer somewhere that I can increase?  I need about twice this much.
It seems to work with a much greater number of args when wildcards are used,
but in the case mentioned above which fails, the args were all named
explicitly.
