This is probably pure evil, but we could go back to the old directory
tree scheme, where all libraries are in $DJDIR/lib, all includes in
$DJDIR/include, and abandon the special GCC tree.  I never did
understand what was wrong with the old way.  (I suppose that makes
trouble for those who want multiple versions of GCC installed together,
but as Eli says, they'll have to hack DJGPP.ENV anyway.)  Yes, the new
scheme is more like Unix, and I suppose it would make GCC porting a bit
easier, but DJGPP's not Unix.
