Description:
Attached are some changed I'd like to commit to 
support the GNU DOS compiler known as DJGPP.  The 
changes are very minimal.  I plan to expand the patch 
as I progress toward a full DOS compile (no joke).

I looked at this patch and it seems fine. Go ahead
and check it in.

Do I have to remind Jeff of what Tcl is?  Being a "C" API 
it should promise a cross-platform achitecture, right?  

I intentionally (and rather painfully, too) used the 
channel API for doing sockets in my irc_engine.dll, now if 
the "promise" holds true, my irc client can work on DOS 
because I was smart and relied on the power of Tcl.

I intend to see if this is true.  DOS has some hooks for 
doing "overlays", but I'm not sure if djgpp uses them.  The 
dlopen() issue will be interesting.

send me your old 386's :)

I will wave my magic wand and give them life once again.  
I'm just out to prove it can be done.

This may not be a joke, but I think davy must be sick...
