IMO, DJGPP development should proceed with an eye to making it less
dependent on COFF immediately, so that in the event of a change it can be
implemented swiftly and easily. Phase out the COFFisms and replace with
code that is format-independent, localizing any format dependent stuff in
one place where it is easily changed systematically.
