Glue/Pmake delay fixes




There have been reports that on some systems, Glue or PMake takes a long
time to run (35 seconds on a 486/66).

The fix is to add "SET DOSX=-MAXV 0" to your autoexec.bat file

Reason: there is a conflict between the Phar-Lap DOS extender used
by the SDK tools and MS-DOS's EMM386 (version 6.0 and later)
that causes delays before the tools will execute.  A couple of 
possible work-arounds:

	* Use a different memory manager than Microsoft's EMM386, or just
	  comment out the EMM386.EXE line from your CONFIG.SYS

	* Run the thing from a Windows DOS box, since (for a change) this
	  problem disappears under Windows.

A good way to test this thing is to just type "glue" without any parameters.
If everything is okay, glue should spit out a usage line almost immediately.
Otherwise, it will pause a while.
