Could people please look at this patch and try it?  The original code
assumed things it shouldn't, and thus you couldn't run, say, objdump
on MS system DLLs.  I like the idea about making bfd dynamic, but I
refuse to accept patches to this code without a "gut feeling" that it
will work *and* lots of testing, so the more people test it the
better.

Here is the updated version. There is a bug in my old patch.

	* include/coff/pe.h (struct external_PEI_DOS_hdr): New.
	(struct external_PEI_IMAGE_hdr): New.
	
	* bfd/peicode.h (coff_swap_filehdr_in): Remove the e_magic
	checking.
	(pe_bfd_object_p): Rewrite with external_PEI_DOS_hdr and
	external_PEI_IMAGE_hdr.
