In case anybody's interested and hasn't discoverd it already, the
source code uses a make variable called __dos to determine some
things, when it is compiled. For instance, if I include the line
#define __dos 1
in antiword.h, the executable doesn't look for the home variable
anymore and it doesn't look for a .antiword directory. It just looks
at c:\antiword for its header file.
