I think using environment variable TOP in dxegen.c can be dangerous 
if somebody will use it due to some other reason. As result that can 
break DXEGEN.EXE in some conditions.

Therefore my suggestion is to leave $DJDIR/lib in LD command line 
and to specify ../../lib explicitly in dxegen.exe command line (of course 
it should be searched before $DJDIR/lib so it must appear earlier in LD 
command line).
