This one is for DJ: he coined the way DJGPP *.zip files are made long
ago, and we've been following that since. I guess some program, perhaps
on SimTel, needed those *.ver files. DJ?

Actually, I just followed the advice from either Andris or Robert
Hoehne. As usual, I don't remember the details, only that the _DJGPP
suffix was gratuitously limiting the area of applicability of that
setting. IIRC, it had something to do with the fact that the _DJGPP part
designates the OS for which that setting is applicable, and this
particular setting is not limited to DJGPP.
Perhaps Andris could explain more.
