Thanks to all who replied to my request on this.

I got messages from 10 people.  Out of these, only 2 thought that an
automated setup program should be included on the CD-ROM.  The rest
told me they agreed with my opinion: create a batch file that sets the
things up and tell the user to include a call to that batch in their
AUTOEXEC.BAT.  As for CONFIG.SYS, I think I will test the size of the
environment and print a warning if it seems too small (DJGPP.ENV makes
the problems with environment size all but gone in most cases).

Several people asked how to get that CD-ROM, and were worried about
its possibly steep price tag.  I would like to clarify that I have
nothing to do with setting prices for the CD; it's entirely up to FSF
which will release it.  The GNU ftp sites include documentation on how
to order FSF software releases; anybody who wants to purchase their
CDs should consult that docs.

Once again, thanks for your helpful response.
