FWIW I use the following technique:
1. Create a directory for the distribution (the distribution making
directory).
2. Put all the directories, files in this directory as you place them in
the DJGPP tree, e.g.:
include/blah.h
lib/libblah.a
3. Create a manifest directory.
4. Create a .ver file, e.g. manifest/blah01b.ver with contents like:
blah01b blah blah blah library, version 0.1 binaries
5. Now create a manifest file, manifest/blah01b.mft, like so from the
distribution making directory:
find . ! -type d | sed -e 's:./::' | sort > manifest/blah01b.mft
find . ! -type d | sed -e 's:./::' | sort > manifest/blah01b.mft
You need to run it twice to get manifest/blah01b.mft in the manifest file.
If you're feeling adventurous, you might want to create a DSM for your
package too, so that zippo can install it for you. See:

for more details.
After a while this process becomes automatic. Hope that helps.
Bye,
