OK.  I'll put down my editor and back away slowly, and let you all
decide if the various build alternatives can be consolidated...

Maybe I'll see if I can get a DJGPP install just to verify things
compile and run still; can you do on Windows or should I get a
virtualbox running MS-DOS? :)

Last night I got the new pselect() version of jobserver working and was
