Win95 (and Win98, AFAIK) handles autoexec.bat completely normally; it
runs it when your computer boots.  There's no trickery or chicanery;
Windows 9x runs on top of plain ol' DOS.  The easiest way to guarantee
that the DJGPP settings are _always_ available to you no matter what
kind of window, shell, or mode you run, is to put the required commands
into your autoexec.bat.

It's not brain surgery; it's just a couple of dozen characters in a text
editor.  An eight year old could do it.  :-)
