Here's a Grep command to find a fixed string ptrdiff_t in all the
DJGPP header files:

      fgrep "ptrdiff_t" c:/djgpp/include/.../*.h

(The quotes around ptrdiff_t are not necessary in this case, but if
the string includes whitespace or file name wildcards, it must be
quoted.)

I think the docs is rather clear.  It *is* true that you must to dwell
on it a little, but that's always the case with any non-trivial
program.
