I don't think anyone makes a living by working on djgpp.  I thought
about it a few times, but there are a lot of "haftas" involved - I'd
hafta charge for it, hafta support it, hafta buy health insurance (no
job, no benefits), etc.  Thus, I have a Real Job also.

Besides, if my life depended on it, it wouldn't be as much fun :-)
