BTW, the base????.zip located in directory 'separate' within the
respective target directory are appropriate alternatives for OS/2 & GO32v2
(it isn't exactly the same because also the compiled RTL units are
included in that package, but it gives most benefits without any effort) -
just in case if you intend to put information about these bootstrap
version somewhere to the Wiki or the main WWW page.
