The stuff in this directory is highly experimental.  The goal is to
provide a replacement for estlib.dll which uses emx.dll, so that
existing programs linked against estlib.dll can benefit from
EmxConsole.  If you install this estlib.dll, you should enable "Treat
all EXE as emx programs" in the emx.dll configuration, otherwise
programs using estlib.dll will always get their own instance of
EmxConsole.  If you install the original estlib.dll, you should
disable that option, to avoid leaking memory.

Unfortunately, Java programs panic upon termination (EMX-ESTLIB 1) as
ImpurePtr() is not yet supported.

Other things to do are:

- support the two threading models of ESTLIB

- make realpath() ESTLIB-compatible

- support \system\programs\java.exe
