I've e-mailed you the diffs plus the new source file for the midi
driver. Have a look at it please.

There's one thing I'm not sure of whether it's ok, I'm using getopt.c from
the win32 directory for the getopt stuff. My compiler complains about a
wrong prototype for strncmp() (last parameter is size_t not int). I did
change this in order to get it compiled, I'm not sure whether this is ok
for Windows as well or whether it really needs an int there ...

I have tried to do this, I have introduced some constants in resource.h -
I tried to name them similar to the dir separator constant for consistency.
See if you think it's ok.

Last thing is, it would be nice if you could update the config.guess and
config.sub scripts to those from:
 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/
because the old FreeSCI ones do not know about MorphOS.

This is just for the main branch, not the glutton branch. Should I do
some for glutton as well?
