When you say adding non-ANSI stuff, do you mean to DJGPP itself, or as an addon
pkg?
There would probably be some question as to whether or not that is possible. The
idea of DJGPP is to maintain portability. Maybe we could make it as an add-on
pkg, but it really shouldn't be a part of libc or the DJDEV pkg. At least, we
should try to keep the code portable, so that stuff we do for DJGPP is also
portable throughout the GNU project.
