If you have problems with a maintainer of a GNU package not accepting
patches to support DJGPP, please let me know PRIVATELY.  Stallman
doesn't like maintainers that don't act to further the GNU manifesto,
and supporting popular gnu-based platforms like DJGPP certainly does.

However, that doesn't mean that there aren't VALID reasons for not
supporting DJGPP.
