I guess this is possible, but I'm not sure there's a good reason for
adding such an option. This is the first time I heard anybody
complaining about this behavior, presumably because everybody else
takes this DOSism for granted. If you have other examples where such
behavior is required, please describe them.
In general, I think that introducing any DJGPP-specific option should
have a grave reason, since it requires the user to know about it.
