Hm, yes, I can see on GitHub the DOS specific files here
And the website claims that is se the build process (via CMAKE) for DOS. IT seems that it supports not only static libraries but also dynemic DX3 modules.
But I no not see any precompiled libraries (either in .A format either in DXE format) so it is not prepared (at least for me) for wide testing.
