As an aside, it is in theory possible to use dejagnu to test a remote 
go32 system.  I believe that the code is no longer used (it was 
developed to remote test cygwin) and presumably bitrotten.  So no way is 
any one going to be expected to run that, and I don't know that there is 
much return on investment.

Having said that, someone might find it useful as a tool that allows us 
to finally overhaul the *&!)($*&)(*@ coff code.

I suspect michael might have been volunteering :-)

That's what actually happens :-)
