Actually, I do not care about file formats at all.  I would not mind
even if one compiles EMX.DLL with OpenWatcom.  ;-)

EMX dlls form an absolutely perpendicular topic to the rest of the
distribution.  This is the beauty of DLL architecture...

I see not reason to compile them with 3.3.0 if this is much harder
than compilation with 2.8.1.  This is similar to seeing no reason to
change nmake to make if it makes things much more complication [but I
do not think this "if" holds].

Hope this helps,
