DOS problems :-)]

I have compiled the library and tools successfully under djgpp2 and have
contributed the necessary makefiles to the package. The current v3.4
release should contain a contrib directory dosdjgpp with the necessary
instructions.
The only problems were that there are two files which are identical in the
first 8 chars (tif_fax3.c and tif_fax3sm.c or something) and that the
compilation of the state machine tables takes up very much memory so that you
have to give the compiler as much DPMI memory as possible.
