This is all required if you want to *port* a package. But to build a
package that was already ported by someone else (as is the case here)
this is not at all necessary. You just need to follow the
DJGPP-specific instructions, even if you don't really understand the
reason behind some of them.
As a simple example, think about using a utility such as Make: you
don't need to understand the subtleties of its operation to use a
Makefile that somebody else has crafted for you. All you need is to
type "make [Enter]".
