That'd be fine too.  Perhaps eventually they should be libraryized,
but you're right that the current code isn't really a library.

Nothing.  I don't know how the Windows build works.  I assume there's
some Windows-only makefile somewhere that needs '-I ms' added to it
in the right spot, before '-I .'.  Or perhaps we can just put something
into src/ms/README, to tell Windows builders to prepend -I ms to CFLAGS
or whatever.

If README.DOS and m4/djgpp.m4 are not in the tarball, I suggest they
be removed from the trunk.  If they're needed they can be brought back,
but it doesn't sound like they're needed.  Here is where they are now:
