No. I in fact did download the entire, bloated Win32 OpenWatcom installer (65 MB), so I do have it, but I decided I didn't want to install all targets that I wouldn't need or use (such as OS/2 or Win 3.x or Linux). Why, do you run it? I can compile it for you if you want. Or, you can just use the DOS version (heh). ;-)

EDIT: Oops, I think I see what you were misunderstanding. 0.99.04 only had one makefile called MSVC.MAK, whereas 0.99.05 has that plus OPENWCOM.MAK and OWLINUX.MAK. According to MKFILES/README, OPENWCOM.MAK supports targets DOS, OS2, and Win32 (on any of those hosts, tested on host Win32 / OW 1.7), and OWLINUX.MAK supports the same targets tested on Linux / OW 1.6rc2. In fact, if you don't explicitly tell it the target ("wmake -f openwcom.mak"), it says this:

> Open Watcom Make Version 1.7

So, yes, it supports OS/2, but I don't have OS/2 so I didn't bother to install the OS/2 support on this machine. ;-)
