Here's the list of patches I suggest to apply to djdev203 for building 
GCC 3.0:

  - the patch to _rename to solve problems on Windows 2000 and ME

  - the patch to _put_path to avoid creating the /dev/env directory

  - the patch to dpmiexcp.c and dosexec.c to work around NTVDM crashes on 
    Windows 2000

The last one will be a bit tricky, since dosexec.c underwent quite a few 
other changes, which I don't recommend to use in GCC 3.0 yet.

I compiled the above list by reading wc204.txi, so if some important 
changes aren't there, I might have missed them.  Also, I intentionally 
omitted several patches that are important, but not for GCC.

Comments?
