I'm rooting through DJGPP V2.0 and wondering. Does this software have
to be built on a Unix box? All the install files I see appear to be
unix scripts, with references to a unix "SH" shell. The makefiles are
this way too. I don't speak either one of these foriegn languages. Am
I just SOL? 

Unix shell scripts seem to do a LOT more than a DOS batch file, and
Unix makefiles still look like greek to me.

I'm trying to get at some cross-platform developement tools. I see
references in the BNU/GAS files to support for the Z8000, but it looks
like there is at least one file missing; ../opcodes/z8k-opc.h. It is
referenced in a makefile, but it ain;t there after unpacking the zip
file.
