One example:

Perhaps to rebuild upcoming gcc-2.95 for DJGPP it will be enough 
to:
	1) install required packages (if some is missing)
      2) run of LFN cappable system (Win9X). One test under WinNT
         with LFN driver from Andrew Crabtree was unsuccessfull. 
         Unfortunatelly LFN support perhaps will be required.
	3) unpack source archive and change to build directory
     4) run build.bat (and possibly leave computer to work for 1-2
        hours). bat file is needed to have possibility to split the
        work in hunks of such size Wincrap95 DPMI server can 
        take. There should be no user intervention needed in this
        process.
        
The result should be all distribution binary archives in some 
directory.

Really it was so already for my last builds of port of egcs-1.1.2.
