It would be better to move to cygwin (or a native *NIX). My experience with
the djgpp-hosted compiler is that it is quite unstable, and under Windows
2000 VERY unstable. Compiling large projects, you'll see random error
messageboxes from Windows. Run the same compile operation again and the
error will happen somewhere else.
