But the current zip already overwrites the djgpp.env if uncompressed
to the same directory where the old installation was. I don't mean
make the user replace it; I mean make the default env file which comes
with DJGPP work with the current revision. If when unzipping you're
asked whether or not to overwrite your current file, you could still
hin N for no, or R for rename - which you have to do in any case, even
if the distribution stays as it is.
