I've a couple of notes about v2 executable packer djp:

I think original stub.asm error messages should be restored in djpstub.asm.
I mean those messages are for users, not programmers. A programmer who packs
his work with djp will be smart enough to look up the docs when a message
like "2" or "3" pops up, but an average Joe-User will get really confused
seeing a digit instead of his favourite game screen. Another 512 bytes would
not hurt that bad compared to size gain due to compression. Would they?

It would be also very nice (and really easy to implement) if djp accepted
COFF images along with EXEs. But that's a minor problem. Error messages are
really important, I think.
