Thanks for working on this.

In my experience, it is better to introduce a command-line option for
this, rather than use an environment variable.  The latter makes it
harder to produce Makefile's that work identically on any DJGPP
installation, because setting an environment variable reliably is not
easy.  The only reliable method is to set it inside a Makefile, but
this usually requires to use Bash as the shell.
