GNU configure scripts need some minor tweaking to run with DJGPP
tools.  I suggest to download some source distribution of a GNU
package from the DJGPP site and look there for hints.  One example
I'd recommend is the Sed distribution, v2gnu/sed302s.zip; look
specifically at the files in the djgpp subdirectory, beginning with
config.bat and README.djgpp.

If there are further problems, post them here.

Well, almost.  The above-mentioned Sed distribution is built by saying
this:

	djgpp\config
	make
	make install

(the first step runs the configure script from within the batch file).
