Sorry for toppost Ed, but I hope to be quick.  I already have emx runtimes,
compilers, and an X11 environment and have compiled a few programs that
work nicely.  The reason I asked is that frankly the X11 stuff is quite old
as almost every decent distro has opted for Xorg instead of Xfree86 years
ago and I still have the old Xfree86 stuff which was a year or more out of
date when I installed it, so it's positively ancient now.  So I'm thinking
that although XCDRoast only requires a Posix style system I'm guessing it's
library requirements may be considerably newer than mine.  It was a lot of
work researching and setting up a sweet X11 system w/ OS/2 especially
considering that I'm one of those weirdos that actually likes the standard
model workplace.  I didn't do it to get all the gloss of Enlightenment as a
replacement desktop window manager but simply to open the doors to all that
amazing OSS and GPL software.  If I'm going to go through all that gain to
update, I'd like to know 
a bit about just how new one can make it these days so I can figure just
how far back into archives I'd have to dig to get something compatible.

Thx for the tip but as you see I'm baiting bigger fish than just a
burner.... I'm hoping for a trend!
