Why?  It only needs to be in one.  That way, programs that need to
correctly detect 2.02 can just #include <stdio.h> and then they'll
know that __DJGPP_MINOR__ will be set correctly.

When gcc 2.7.* is no longer an issue, we can do that.

DJGPP doesn't support that option anyway, so it doesn't matter.
