I meant the case of shell scripts and Makefile which somebody else wrote, 
like those you get with source distributions of Unix-born programs.  
Having `gfind' will not help when such a script calls `find'.

I don't think there's any solution other than moving the DJGPP's bin 
subdirectory before everything else that can conflict with it.
