Don't use setup-dosemu script for now as it removes some important options from compiletime-settings.

What options are important that it removes?

Just compare the fresh compiletime-settings file with the one created by setup-dosemu to see which ones.

I compiled 1.1.3.7 with just static linking (while investigating why it wouldn't compile I removed all other options using setup-dosemu) and dosemu seems to run OK now.

The removed options doesn't necessary lead to any real problems. Removing them only limits the flexibility.
So while the goal of setup-dosemu is to let you alter the options, in fact you end up with the default ones, not even knowing about that.

Er, um, I meant which ones were important, not which ones did it remove... :)
