I tried compiling with Borland C++ 5.02.  But the pcboard executable
does not work, program too big to fit in memory.  A search turned up
some old posts about Borland C++ 5.02 overlays not working.  That's a
show stopper because the pcb build system is all set up for building
with overlays.  So the last good compiler is Borland C++ 4.5.

I thought of reworking the whole system to use DPMI instead of overlays,
but that's a big job.  So for now I will use Borland C++ 4.5 or 3.1.

I also learned a trick about renaming the libraries from *.lib to *.386.
The DOS ren command allows wildcards:

ren *.lib *.386

Never tried that before, but it works.
