I'd like to clear this up. EMX is the name of the GCC port to OS/2, it isn't
the name of the platform as such. Having #ifdef __EMX__ around the place is
misleading, it's like using #ifdef __MSVC__ to mean WIN32.

What I'd like to do is replace all the "#ifdef __EMX__"s with "#ifdef OS2"
and have Configure add a -DOS2. Also, rename the os/emx directory os/os2.

I guess it should wait for 1.3.1-dev though.....

But does all the __EMX__ stuff still apply to an arbitrary OS/2 compiler?
