gnu utilities for MVS and CMS

[Paul Edwards]

Not a bug.  An enhancement.  I now have ports of these products to MVS
and CMS (mainframe operating systems).  It would be nice if this stuff was
included in a subdirectory of the official products.  I realise not all of
these products are covered by this list, but I'm including them just for
completeness.  Also note that these versions compile in a standard
C90 environment, which is all that is offered on MVS and CMS (with
this compiler - GCCMVS/GCCCMS 3.2.3 v6.0, anyway).  That is why
old versions of some of the products were chosen for porting.

Even if they aren't officially included, people may find it via a google
search.  Note that the version numbers have an "MVS" in them to
show that they're unofficial.  If these things are included in the
official version I would like that dropped.

Thanks.  Paul.
