Interesting. It happens not very often that a DOS target is added as new to a project. Mostly DOS targets are removed as obsolete...
Do they use some better/fixed/usable pthreads or some proprietary code?

Seems it requires Cmake for compiling DOS target, something that I don't want to touch even by 2m rod... :P
