I think he is referring to the one that comes with djdev.  I would suggest
trying to move towards usung the new one, since it does not
print out the 'library not used since no linking done' message you 
get currenty.  It does require the change to djgpp.env though.

Yuck.  That would mean that libg++.a became libgpp.a, and that before
this, people thought that gxx was g++, but now we release a real port
of g++, and call it gpp.  Plus, people would have to choose between 
gpp and gxx.  Too confusing.  Either stick with the old one and don't
release the new, or just release the new and overwrite the old.

Good idea.  I'll put this in the next PG++ snapshot as well.
