To be safe one should first invoke "unzip -t STRANGE.ZIP | less" or redirect
to a file.  Then examine the tree structure of STRANGE to see how it fits
into the pre-existing structure.  Some are best unzipped from .../contrib
Some would be better if a subdirectory is prepared for them 
.../contrib/strange.XXX.  If it contains ./gnu/strange.XXX/..
it is intended to be unzipped in the DJGPP directory.
