Well, sort of. Please note -- I run OS/2 which tolerates long
filenames, and gcc 2.3.x makes use of this feature. To do a strict
DOS port would mean going into the code and munging all the filenames
that didn't conform to DOS conventions -- ack! So I'm not sure what
I'll do with it at this point; waiting for a copy of 2.3.3 is most
definitely part of it, though, since 2.3.2 is said to be buggy.

BTW when I said I could make an exe I never said it would be compiled
under DJGPP (because of the aforementioned problem). I would probably
compile it using EMX...
