I would prefer this too (thatswy I will include it in gpp280b.zip).

At first only a small change:

[gxx]
LIBRARY_PATH=%/>;LIBRARY_PATH%

so it can find the specs and crt0.o, or we move these two files
in the directory, where gcc and gxx look for them by default, in

%DJDIR%/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.80

but that's probably not possible, since this would need to move
those files (at least crt0.o) when the version of gcc will change.

Yes, this is confusing to me too

libstdc++.a   -> libstdcxx.a
libg++.a      -> libgpp.a
g++.exe       -> gpp.exe
c++filt.exe   -> cxxfilt.exe

I think we should come to one technique. Changing ++ to xx or pp, where
I prefer to change ++ to xx.

Yes, that's a good idea, but then we should aware about reports
from error messages, when the user unzip gpp280b.zip, about the
invalid g++.exe (even when all the other is extracted OK, which
I tested).
