I think correct place for specs and djgpp.djl is gcc version 
specific directory as these files may change with gcc version.

Also perhaps I'll try the way of enabling exceptions provided
with gcc (and egcs). crtf.o in gcc-2.8.1 and calling __register_frame_info()
from crt0.o can only be treated as workaround. Correct place for
that should be crtbegin.o under $DJDIR/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/"version"
(at least so it is under Linux). As there is we cannot be sure these 
things will not change.

If we are no more supporting gcc-2.7.X with DJGPP 2.02 then
specs cal be safely removed from $DJDIR/lib as ports of gcc-2.8.X and
egcs-1.1 already contains this file in different place.

The same is with djgpp.djl. However it would be usefull to compare
this file with one from gcc*b.zip and see if there is nead to update 
latest one.
