Aaah - I was thinking to the Walnut Creek CD-ROM about Ada, where
the `ez2load' distribution is available. It is simply a mirroring
of the original distribution on ftp. It could indicate that when
a software is well packaged from start, it has more chances to
be installable on copies (e.g. "learn C++"). The small installer
program has sources in C (I think), and could be profitable to
main C/C++ DJGPP. Take a look!
