Maybe its time for *you* to help the DJGPP developers provide support
for it?

Maybe its time to stop complaining about problems running DJGPP on
Windows 2000 unless *you* are willing to volunteer your time and
effort to solve those problems, and provide the "godamn workaround"
[sic]?

Complaining that people - people who volunteer their time and effort to
provide DJGPP in the first place - haven't yet solved some very
difficult problems with a _closed_source_environment_ doesn't encourage
them to expend the required effort.  If anything your demonstrated lack
of appreciation will serve as a deterrent.
