i guess i still don't understand why the int86 handler can't go ahead and
do a go32_dpmi_simultate_int() for the ints it doesn't expect.

at the very least, could we have another entry point for
go32_dpmi_simulate_int that would take the same args as int86?  then a
macro would be trivial.

as someone porting DOS code from other compilers to the
djgpp environment, i now need to find all my int86 calls, and either figure
out which ones are supported as int86() and which need to be translated to
go32_dpmi_simulate_int().  (or, of course, translate them all)

in either case, we'd end up with a situation where both calls always work.
