Well, as for the newline problem, I wasn't sure whether or not it was
a GCC or a DJGPP problem, so I came here to ask. Nothing wrong with
that.  I'm not persisting to blame DJGPP for this stuff or anything.

The main reason I was confused is that SunOS gcc 2.95.3 doesn't seem
to care about the new line thing. So either that's older than the
version of gcc now shipping with DJGPP (somebody clue me in here :P),
or there's some other odd difference. I dunno.

Anyways, I've decided to keep on supporting DJGPP and I hope that if I
can keep my source compliant enough on a change-by-change basis that
these big huge issues won't come up quite as often.
