16-bit DOS Python executable

The third installment of the DOS executables is here: a 16-bit version
which runs on a 186 CPU in 640 kbytes.

It doesn't actually run the test set but this appears to be a problem
with the test set; I'm pretty confident that it works fine for most
Python programs.

The only problem I've found with it so far is that once you have
interrupted time.sleep(), the interrupt handling is messed up and a
following interrupt may kill the program.
