Eli, sorry I'm still lost.

Here, the xm-go32.h file will have been removed before the XM_FILE 
mechanism goes away (if it hasn't we've both seriously fallen down on 
the job :-) and therefore, DJGPP won't be broken.  In fact, thanks to 
Joel's and MarkK's efforts, we're even ahead of schedule on this one!

This is all about preventing new uses of an old mechanism that we're 
trying to replace, not about deprecating DJGPP.

Andrew
