Note that the name "Makefile.in.in" is NOT valid under DOS. Therefore it's
been changed to Makefile.in-in. This is done so that compiling packages is

Every DJGPP package has those "long" shell scripts. Without that, it
wouldn't be possible to compile under the environments mentioned above.

Makefile.in-in=Makefile.in.in
You might want to read

details.
