[Coco] Donkey Kong Remixed for the CoCo 3

[John Kowalski]

Hi Sean,

Nope. It's not available, nor finished yet, nor does the current
release of MAME even support DK Remixed yet.

But it does play nice in MAME (I'm using a custom build to test the
game during development).
I'm aiming to polish it up beyond the original CoCo 3 version so that
it can actually have a hope of making some sort of impact in retro
arcades.  I'm hoping to get it into actual DK hardware, in actual
arcades.
