Wrong.  32-bit DOS (i.e. DJGPP) is still very much supported, and should
continue to be, if at all possible.  What we dropped in 4.0 was *16-bit*
DOS/Windows support, not DOS support per se.  On platforms that have long
file names and support them for DOS (i.e. everything except raw DOS, and
NT up to version 4), DJGPP-built executables will have access to them.
