In the current DJGPP version (2.01), the DJGPP macro is set to 2 and
DJGPP_MINOR is set to 1.  It seems to me that this could lead to serious
ambiguities should v2.x ever creep above .09.  However, at least at
present, when you see someone referring to 2.1, they mean 2.01.

Oh, and disguising your email address when asking for information is
very impolite.
