The following simple snippet for computing "stubsize" is based on
function "create_go32_stub" in file "gnu\binutl-2.14\bfd\coff-stgo32.c"
from DJGPP's "bnu21?s.zip". Information is available here:
<http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/exe/>. 512 bytes form a page (or
block) as per Microsoft's definition. "tdosheader" is from file
"exeinfo.pp".
