Ah, sorry, then I misunderstood. Well, then, instead of
doing the stuff I mentioned before the tarball is created,
we can add a shell script to be run after the tarball is extracted.
For example, on MS-DOS the c++defs.h file is automatically renamed
to cxxdefs.h by the extractor, so the script can uniformly substitute
"cxxdefs.h" for "c++defs.h" in all the text files. Hopefully
a similar idea works for all the other files with non-MS-DOS
names.
I assume that the "configure" procedure for MS-DOS is already
different, so this new script can be folded into that procedure.

That's OK. People can ignore those diagnostics, just as I assume
they already ignore the diagnostics for the files whose names
start with ".". It doesn't matter whether those files are
extracted correctly, as the MS-DOS build doesn't use them.
