I think I have found acceptable solution, implemented it and it works good:
1) insert @SET DJGPP=... as first line in autoexec.bat
2) look for first line with "path=" but not "rem" and insert there
%DJDIR%\bin
directory after '=' sign. If there is no such line, then insert
@path=c:\djgpp\bin
after @set djgpp= ... And I create new autoexec.bat if there isn't one :)
(Who will need this feature? But...)

What do you think of it?
