I'd prefer that the support for the MSDOS port not be removed until I
decide to stop working on it altogether. After all, apart of the
msdos/ subdirectory, which can hardly be a nuisance to anyone, the
MSDOS support boils down to:
. 5 DOS-specific C files
. several __MSDOS__/__DJGPP__ cpp directives scattered through the
common sources.
That doesn't seem too much.
