From the DJGPP FAQ list (available as faq102.zip from the same place you 
get DJGPP):

9.13  Q: When I copy my DJGPP application program to another PC where no
         DJGPP is installed, I can't run it.  It complains that it cannot
         exec go32.  Do I really need all your multi-megabyte installation
         to run compiled programs?
      A: No, you don't.  You can either (1) copy go32.exe to the target
         machine and put it somewhere along the PATH there, or (2) merge
         go32.exe with your program to produce a stand-alone executable
         (albeit one which is larger by about 70KB) with this command:

              coff2exe -s c:\djgpp\bin\go32.exe yourprog

         (Replace c:\djgpp\bin with the actual path to go32.exe on your
         system.)

PS.  If the target system doesn't have an i387 (i.e., if it's a 386 
without a 387, or 486SX), and if your program uses floating-point 
computations, you'll also have to distribute the file emu387 with it.
