        Well, it's been a while since I did anything beyond running
terminal emulators and word processors, but my recollection is that
I had a to4dos.bat and todos.bat that modified the names of two
autoconfs and rebooted, so I could then run stuff on either 4dos or
real DOS, and go back and forth quickly.  There must be a better way,
though. :) :)

        Well, you'd be talking about modifying essentially every single
LYfoo.c and libwww .c module, though not in any tough way that would
require much field testing (i.e., not like trying to make even a few line
changes in LYMainLoop.c and crossing your fingers that it will actually
work as you intend; you'd just be worrying about typos in the course of
modifying that many files :).
