I would love to see this happen too, but I'm not going to agree to install
changes which are fundamentally wrong, such as overriding USER_H.  We also
have to be practical and realize that DOS is a severely braindamaged system
and we shouldn't compromise our ability to DTRT on other platforms just to
make DOS happy.
