I thought of that.  I figured the search path would be:

	go32v200.exe	exact version support
	go32v2.exe	major version only
	go32.exe	last try

The environment variable approach sounds good - maybe one per exact
revision?

	set GO32V204=c:/usr/bin/go32v204.exe

Comments are welcome.

I'll accept any "diff -c3" patches that don't break anything else!
Contributions are the best way to get something done in djgpp.
