Hmm... but IIRC, the policy used to be to avoid *any* editing of DJGPP.ENV
by users.  That's why many of those lines start with a '+': they only
supply a fallback value for the case that the user didn't set some
environment variable.

In that context, the README should tell people to add 

	set LANG=C

into autoexec.bat (or wherever else they put their set DJGPP=....),
shouldn't it?
