Using my symlink system mentioned in the `links to stubs' thread, you
could have symlinks from $(DJDIR)/bin/* to
$(DJDIR)/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/*.  Hmm, I'll probably have to give it the
ability to use environment variables and relative paths.  

Sigh, I've *GOT* to get around to getting my djgpp installation going
again, I've been using Linux for too long :) and my djgpp install got
nuked for space reasons befor I got my bigger drive and I never got
around to fixing it.  Actually, getting my symlinks into djgpp just
might be the motivating factor (it doesn't help that I havn't quite got
dosemu configured properly so it doesn't quite cooperate with djgpp).
