I commented them out in my djgpp.env.

I think you should do the same way like Eli and I in the last
uploaded GNU ports. Do change any original shell scripts to
support ';' as path separator but created a configure.bat
in the base src directory which configures perl for
DJGPP by (in you case calling the djgpp/prepare.bat)
and the setting some environment variables and the
calling the configure script, like:

SET PATH_SEPARATOR=:
bash configure

This was not meant by me (see above)

Because I currently don't know what the .pod format is, I would
prefer the .txt format if there is no .info format available.
