Hi,

	I remember that there was a thread going on a few months ago
about adding Win32 support to DJGPP. Is anybody working on that? What
would be required?

- a ld that can create PE executables & DLL's ?
- a Win32 libc ?
- a resource compiler ?
- a PE format debugger?
- ... ?

Will this be very difficult? (it can be done, look at RSXNTDJ)

I think Win32 support for DJGPP is getting kind of urgent. Ok, there
are alternatives (RSXNTDJ & Cygwin). But cygwin falls under the GPL (&
will go commercial I've seen on their page) and RSXNTDJ doesn't seem
to evolve anymore at all (supports no C++, no DLL's!)

(Think about it: a Win32 port of Allegro! Or a DJFC versus MFC)
So what do you guys think? DJ? Anyone.
