It doesn't; volunteers are welcome to add it (and port the latest Web2c 
in general).

The DJGPP sites do include the DviPDFm package, which is an alternative 
way of producing PDF files from TeX and Texinfo sources.  You run TeX or 
texi2dvi first, then run dvipdfm on the resultant DVI file.  Personally, 
I like this way better, since PDFTeX requires some tricky setup, and its 
interface with Texinfo is still in diapers.  See:
