I tried to add Pascal support in gcc2953s2.zip after I released DJGPP 
port of gcc-2.95.3, but it is not finished and I only did the tests with  
scripts intended for cross-building gcc-2.95.3 for DJGPP under Linux. 
Now it seems that I may have to rerelease gcc-2.95.3 for DJGPP after 
some time, so it's possible I'll get it in (but don't ask, when ...).

Somebody who uses Pascal should send patches for RHIDE (but test 
them at first, so he/she should be able to build RHIDE from sources)

All this stuff is located in idespec.cc
