Gcc 2.1 is much larger than gcc 1.39, mostly because of additional
functionality and better optimization.  It needs more memory to run,
also.

The files associated with the development environment itself (djgpp,
includes, libs, etc) are version keyed to the extender (1.06).  I'm
trying to isolate FSF products so that I can track their rev numbers
(ie: gcc-2.1 is djgcc201).

FSF products now come shipped with their respective documentation.

djgpp changes are mostly bug fixes and a few minor features.  The
module rearrangement happened so that I can support additions easily.
