On the development machine, GNU Chess 5 is compiled with both Cygnus
GNU C and DJGPP GNU C. 

We compile with Cygnus since otherwise we can't run under Xboard.

We compile with DJGPP the version that interfaces to the Novag board
for ease-of-play.

Attempts for either fail due to 32-bit vs. not 32-bit and some COM
code being written for DJGPP and not wanting to spend time porting it.
