I think there is no big difference between /usr/local and /djgpp as non of them
is perfect. My thoughts were directed to get some workaround for need to specify
$DJDIR in prefix as it is not so easy to push '$' through configure files and 
Makefiles. Some work in this direction were done in GPC but making full
support of '$' in configure parameters would require rather large work. So
maybe it would be best to find another workaround.

My suggestion was simply mentioned as one of possible way. I checked that
it seems to work at least with one package (of course no real support as
I didn't have needed modifications  of libc.a)
