That is WRONG!  Programs compiled with DJGPP do not, repeat NOT, require 
the author to distribute anything except the binary executable.  Please 
do not make this issue more confusing than it is.  There are a few 
SPECIAL cases (explained in the FAQ and in the recent postings by DJ 
himself) where you use GNU (not DJGPP, GNU!) libraries, and which require 
to make a linkable object files available.  But in general, this is NOT 
required.  For details, please read Chapter 19 of the FAQ list.
