Hello.

Maybe we should talk about what people want in DJGPP 2.04 and 2.05 and what
needs doing. I'm quite happy to maintain a web page tracking this stuff. That
page may be a good repository for things to-do.

The changelog for 2.04 is quite long, so perhaps we should try a release soon.
For an soon-ish release here's stuff that springs to mind:

* Sort out issues with timing routines on Win2k (if possible).
* Test out symlink code a lot more - build lots of packages with it, test
interoperability with Cygwin stuff.
* Review and incorporate Alex Aganichev's regex fixes.

Here's what could go into 2.05:

* Alex Aganichev's locale patches;
* CB Falconer's nmalloc patches;
* Large File Summit-compliance (there are some issues with our current support
for large files).

If we want to do a release later, we could push some of the 2.05 stuff into
2.04.

Bye, Rich =]
