Lots of larger programs come with a configure script.  What is the
recommended method of dealing with these in DJGPP?

I personally find them to be utterly infuriating: if anyone could shed some
light on how to set up my DJGPP installation for seamlessly running them, it
would save me many hours of header-file-fiddling.

Thanks in advance,
Edmund.
