Sorry, I've not had time to look at this for the OS/2-EMX build; maybe tonight.

[Michael Hudson]

I thought OS/2-EMX was only going to be supported in 2.3? I'm certainly not going to port all those checkins you made to the -maint branch.

In general, ports to new platforms are considered "new features", so don't go in to bugfix releases. Rare exceptions have been made when the required changes are tiny and "obviously" can't hurt anything. The OS/2-EMX changes don't qualify here (and, e.g., they did break the Windows build -- who knows what else may have been damaged? "nobody" is correct ).
