The configure script had some problems with not finding some programs eg ar,
and didn't like os/2 as a build system. I'll look into these in a few days, and
let
you know what changes would be needed

I'll look into this, and see if I can do something similar. I hadn't actually
tried
oggenc on anything other than files, so I hadn't realised!

A quick check shows me that stdin may not always be set to binary on all
runtime
builds, so it should really be coded as:

#ifdef __EMX__ /* OS/2 EMX System needs stdin/stdout set to binary */
      _fsetmode(stdin,"b");
      _fsetmode(stdout,"b");
#endif
