What about telling gcc to search in $DJDIR/{include,lib} instead of
/usr/{include,lib}? This would make djgpp operation (IMHO) VERY
standard even if slighly skew-wiff. Heck, isn't $DJDIR effectivly /usr
anyway? It's got bin, include, src, tmp and lib haning off it and
contrib is sort of like /usr/local.
This seems to me to be the cleanest way of doing this as this is how gcc
was designed. ie look in the version specific dir, then /usr/*.
