Just to add my last thoughts on this thread. RSXNTDJ 1.5.1 certainly fixes the
include directory problems, but using mingw32 and cygwin in confunction with
DJGPP is another story. At the moment I do the following:

DJGPP environment is ALWAYS set up (ie in my autoexec.bat). So in Windows, if I
want a DJGPP/RSXNTDJ prompt, I go Start->Run->bash.

I have two batch files in C:\, one called mingw32.bat, the other cygnus.bat.
They just add the bin directories of either compiler to the start of the path
(in the case of cygnus, the info and man paths are also set).

To run either of them, I just have to go Start->Run->command.com /k C:\mingw32
or Start->Run->command.com /k c:\mingw32. This has the added effect of keeping
the current directory (which doesn't happen if you just run a batch file). Also,
each batch file contains an additional exit command after running bash, so in
bash, I just have to type ctrl-d and the whole window disappears, instead of
dropping back to command.com.
