After unsuccessfully experimenting with using the BFD assembler, 
I have binutils all ready to be tested.  My only question regards 
how to organize the directories in the zip file.
Now that gcc 2.8.x supports the heirarchtical (I know I didn't spell that
right :) format should we move binutils to that as well?  So instead
of installing to DJDIR/bin we could put in DJDIR/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/
or something.  The benefit would be that it would be trivial for
people to install a cross-kit for 68K or linux or something.  Both
the compiler and the assembler linker would be in separate directories
and could coexist.  The major problem I see is that 
gcc 2.7 would not know how to find them if they weren't in DJDIR/bin.
