Network Backup program for mTCP (old DOS machines) and possible embedded targets.

This backup program and directory traverser using the mTCP TCP/IP stack for DOS machines (http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/). While mTCP and the core application proper are written in C++ ("C with classes," essentially. Uses malloc() and free()) instead of new and deleted), the directory traverser and backup logic code are (should be) written in ANSI C. Perhaps if there is interested, other more esoteric targets and communication channels (think ZMODEM backups over a serial line :D) could be added using wrapper functions which abstract file sending and receiving. I may just abstract the mTCP code with a C wrapper as well, just for the DOS target.

Right now, there are two ways to build this- using SCons or OpenWatcom's wmake. mTCP requires the OpenWatcom C++ compiler due to its assembler syntax. The SConstruct provides a means to specify where the mTCP code lives, so a user need not place their cloned repo into the mTCP source tree. Open Watcom's wmake also works, but requires that a user download the mTCP source tree, make a directory under "APPS", and clone this repo into said directory, so that mTCP code is found.
