Too much different groups in my opinion. Take .bugs and .help: Someone, who
detects a bug, needs also help. So he will post to both. In general I think 
there will be some cross posting.  

Now with the mailing list all posting goes to one destination and it worked
very well. So it should be sufficient to divide the new user question from
the more advanced. So I vote for 2 groups

  gnu.msdos.djgpp.advanced     (let's look for a better word for "advanced")
  gnu.msdos.djgpp.new-user
