If the underlying versions of the basic DJGPP tools (gcc and its passes)
are the same, you should only install the add-ons. Any unzip program has
a switch that will only unzip newer files; you should use that switch to
avoid overwriting new versions with old ones.
The tricky part is of course to know what conflicts, if any, will happen
when your add-on is compatible with DJGPP version other than what's
installed on your machine. Some combinations mean trouble. The
installation instructions for the add-on package should cover this.
