Have you made a decision yet if you still want to maintain the MSDOS
port?

AFAIK, now, the only big difference between MULTI_KBOARD and non
MULTI_KBOARD is that in one case there a global variable of type
struct kboard, and in the other case is malloced. So it seems to me
that even if the MSDOS is kept alive, it might be possible to make it
work in MULTI_KBOARD mode. But I don't have a good understanding about
this, so take this with a big grain of salt...
