I suggest to add extra environment parameters in djconfig.sh and 
djmake.sh than rather than to edit DJGPP.ENV to add something
to environment You nead for one task only .

Yes I know this. Unfortunatelly CONFIG_SHELL is not used 
anywhere we need. Therefore for building gcc-2.8.1 it is neaded
to have /bin/sh.exe (You can make this by copying bash.exe to
/bin/sh.exe on the same drive You have gcc sources.

One note about building gcc-2.8.1. If somebody simply transfers
changes Robert did to port gcc-2.8.0 to DJGPP he perhaps will get
most of problems port of 2.8.0 had (as I got initially). There it is 
necessary to do some other changes to fix problems that appeared after 
release of port of 2.8.0 (including problems with exceptions, unnecesary 
use of long filanemes for temporary files in some situations)

I have now version of port of gcc-2.8.1 that fixes 2 problems I mentioned 
above. Perhaps some more testing is still neaded.
