Brltty for DOS [Was: What's useness of brltty under ms-windows?]

Hi,

By compiling it with DJGPP, yes, but there are still a few missing
modifications, a patch is attached to this mail.

Note however that there is no USB support and that serial speeds greater
than 9600 can't be achieved without special device drivers, since DOS
alone doesn't support more than 9600bps.
