Note that the name "Makefile.in.in" is NOT valid under DOS. Therefore it's
been changed to Makefile.in-in. This is done so that compiling packages is
possible under both DOS and Windows (with and without LFN support).

Every DJGPP package has those "long" shell scripts. Without that, it
wouldn't be possible to compile under the environments mentioned above.

Makefile.in-in=Makefile.in.in

You might want to read

details.
