Thanks a lot for your great analysis and code!  Please install
whatever you think is appropriate.

Hmm.  What about running, say, the emx compiler in an MSDOS shell
within a BOCHS (or DOSEMU) session?  A longer time ago I did this to
check whether 16bit support still works.  It might be a good exercise
to test this again.  Reason: 16bit compilers might detect problems not
visible to 32bit compilers.
