Actually, you don't.  The `configure' script won't run on MSDOS.  You
might try using the port of `bash', but I'd guess that you will need to
modify the script at least a bit before it will run.  The DJGPP port of
`bash' is available as v2gnu/bsh1147b.zip from the same place you get
DJGPP.  You will probably need most of the utilities from the v2gnu
directory to run the script.  Get at least Fileutils, Textutils, Sh-utils,
Sed, Grep, and Diffutils.  You will also need Make 3.75.

There's also a Cygnus Win32 port of `bash', but I'd guess it won't work 
good enough with DJGPP tools (although I didn't try).  A pointer to the 
Cygnus site is in the DJGPP FAQ list (section 3.3).
