What is the general rule for installing front-ends for different 
languages?  Are you supposed to install each front-end in a different
directory, or can use use a single djgpp directory for everything.
It seems like a waste of disk space to do separate installs being 
that the base gcc distribution is the same.  On the other hand,
it seems like conflicts can occur if they are put in the same 
directory, as each front-end has some files that are different,
(gcc.exe, etc).  In particular, I am trying to install the GNAT
Ada compiler, and I am wondering if it is ok just to put it in
the djgpp directory.  I am fairly new to GNU and don't
quite understand the organization.

Thanks,
Brad
