I agree with Stefan's proposal that we start with EMX, i.e. create a
repository with 0.9d, fix 04: emx/include and emx/src is probably all we
need; though what about emx/bsd? With a vanilla EMX repository, people
who are already running patched versions can check out the tree, diff it
against their own EMX, patch their working directory and submit the
diffs for check-in.

It might also be worth creating a development branch from the outset,
and applying the patches to it. Then, whenever people feel there's
enough substance to warrant a release, merge with the trunk and deliver
a stable runtime.

For the build system, I suggest sticking with it as is for now, and
converting to GNU make in two stages: 1) translate the dmakese into
gmakese; 2) hack the GNU makefiles into the build system we want. This
way any lack of progress with the build system won't impede development
of the library's contents.
