Fair enough!! I haven't used DJGPP since December (nor DOS much for that
matter). So, no, I haven't tried 2.8x on DJGPP (but I did port it to
the big-endian i860:)

Umm, then just what is the problem? if 2.8 looks in the right places
(with $DJDIR/* coming after the version dependent dirs, and 2.7x only
looks in $DJDIR/*, then I can't see any room for incompatabilities.
Hmm, just had a look back and the problem seems to be if $DJDIR/* is in
djgpp.env. Ach, the only solutions I can see (probably unacceptable)
are either for 2.8x to ignore LIBRARY_PATH and C_INCLUDE_PATH, or strip
$DJDIR/* out of them. Both seem kind of bletch.
