It's not as bad as all that. DJGPP comes with your choice of two
extenders: one with virtual memory support, and one without. The small one
(without virtual mem) can be bound to the executable, adding about 20k.
The resulting executable will work as either a DPMI server and client
(under plain DOS), or just a client (under Win 95, OS/2, Linux, etc.). The
end user doesn't have to do anything but run it. If you're already running
under a DPMI server (like one of the OSes above), you don't have to link
any extenders.
