I think there first needs to be some discussion of how it should
be done, because it's not entirely straightforward and it requires
patching most of the standard C header files.  In fact I don't think
it can be done completely correctly without also replacing the
corresponding GCC <c*> headers, although a reasonable first
approximation can be obtained without doing this.

In any case, I will try again to initiate some discussion of this on the
DJGPP workers list.
