I have the utilities mentioned.  But I am still have problems with
configure, with a number of packages.

For example, W3C's libwww:

1. There are no DJGPP-specific instructions with this package.  I typically
run 'bash ./configure', just to see what happens.
2. Firstly, configure says it can't automatically recognise the host system.
I usually alter the command line to: 'bash ./configure i386-pc-msdosdjgpp'.
Is that right?
3. Secondly, I get these errors once the above has been entered (slightly
reformatted by me):

loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type...    i386-pc-msdosdjgpp
checking target system type...   i386-pc-msdosdjgpp
checking build system type...    i386-pc-msdosdjgpp
checking for a BSD compatible install...    config/install-sh -c

checking for working aclocal...    missing

./configure: uname: command not found
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in path.
