Would be useful for djgpp at least.

Or should I do it conditionally on

No, mingw32 defines __OS_DOS__, presumably for line ends and may be drive letters,

but being windows it uses (nearly) ISO-8859-1.
EMX, when used with rsxwin as extender uses also windows codepage,
(and presumably CP437/CP850 when in plain dos with rsx or emx as extender,
I used it some years ago that way with emtex/texshell)


Do you suppose that gpc/gcc should be configured with --enable-nls ?
I have not done it in the binaries uploaded, and when I tried, it triggers a bug,
djgpp-related, on stage 1: I suppose that nobody has ever tried to compile gcc-2.95.3
natively for djgpp with intl support.
