I think the next way would be OK (please tell me your suggestions): try to
create DJGPP directory as user told without any checks, until mkdir() 
succeeds. If mkdir() does not succeed, that means: user tried to install 
DJGPP to LFN directory in *plain* dos. His fault. In autoexec.bat: 
path to djgpp.env  would be got with DOS 7 LFN API "Get SFN name" 
or something like it. I thinked of this way when looked to my "illegal"
DJGPP installation, which is in C:\Programming\DJGPP\ and in my
autoexec.bat is SET DJGPP=C:\PROGRA~2\DJGPP\djgpp.env
Or maybe it is complete non-sense?
