As I wrote in my reply to Jim's email, I don't think introducing
additional toolchains makes any sense. In fact it would be a good idea
to have all 'official' packages that are based on C compile with OWC.
I don't know if that has changed, but I remember MKEYB at some point
required Turbo-C to compile. DOS isn't usually run in huge-arse
environments with terra bytes of HDD space, so it might be a good idea
to limit the number of toolchains we need to build packages. If
nothing else, it also reduces the number of testing required.
