That same argument could read "you might as well have Linux".  I don't
want to start an OS flame-war (again).  The purpose of DJGPP is to
provide gnu software on *MS-DOS*.  If you switch operating systems, of
course some other package will work better.  That's not the point.  If
you *are* using ms-dos (have to or want to), djgpp is there for you.
