  Is this a request?  How about the guy who started this thread try to
organize such an ordeal.  Even if I didn't write the libraries, I'll
bet that at least 50% (probably more like 80%) are clear enough that
your average DJGPP programmer could document them without much
difficulty.  Heck, I feel it's the least I could do.  I mean honestly,
how long does it REALLY take to figure out what __tb is???
