Check out the filesystem extensions feature of DJGPP (it's in the libc 
on-line reference docs).  It should be quite easy to add what you need 
using it.

Nothing in DJGPP gets done without somebody who has enough motivation and 
resources to sit down and make it happen.  I'm sure you will get a lot of 
approval if you submit ioctl and termios for DJGPP.
