I don't think that's necessary. INSTALL.W32 covers 3 compilers. If support
for another OS/2 compiler is added it can be included in INSTALL.OS2 rather
than clutter the root with multiple INSTALL.OS2-* files.

True, the DLLs will only work properly with EMX gcc compiled apps (though I
believe other compilers will work if you avoid stdio & sockets and can
arrange matching the calling convention) but the primary target of this
patch is people porting unix apps to OS/2 & that's usually done using EMX
gcc.

If you feel it's worth mentioning in the docs you can always submit a
patch.
