Seems like a good idea: one less zip file to download to get the standard 
stuff, and leaving the LGPL'ed stuff separate.

I suggest to leave the original name.  It is too entrenched in DJGPP, and 
people would need to remember to delete the old versions if you change 
the name.  Too much hassle.

I would say don't do that, unless you have *really* good reasons.  For 
starters, people who keep an old DJGPP.ENV will have trouble.
