Unfortunately, I get linker errors with the static library I built in the
bcc32 directory (__umask, _getpid and one other couldn't be resolved).  I'm
having some luck with the .dll, but I don't have a lot of choice at the
moment.  Perhaps later I will have time to figure out why those functions
are missing out of the static library.
