Let me note that the upcoming next version will build on DJGPP
out-of-the-box.  I consider my patches, which are in the mainline
sources by now, superior to Shankar's version.

Hmm... looks like NT thinks you have the new file (ncscope.out) on a
different filesystem where cscope.out (EXDEV is "cross-device
link"). Which is very strange, since they're actually in one and the
same directory. What cscope is doing here is essentially:

	unlink("cscope.out");
	rename("ncscope.out", "cscope.out");

There are known problems in Win2K with the rename() function, IIRC,
but on NT, this should work without any major problem.
