None of these options seems to derive @INC from $DJDIR, unless each user 
has to configure her installation by putting the appropriate -I options 
on some config file.  Is that true, or did I miss something?

If I'm right, then I don't understand how does Perl work for people (me 
included) whose DJGPP tree is not rooted at c:/djgpp.  ("/dev/env/DJDIR" 
trick might help, but I don't think that current Perl binaries were 
compiled with DJGPP v2.03.)
