JFYI, Changes.djgpp and Changelog.djgpp don't work...

Uhm, doesn't work for me.

Now we are at Bash 2.03, I have encountered some unexpected (to me at
least) behaviour in you binary Bash:

- .bat and .btm are not run with %COMSPEC%, but as .sh shell script

- when `filename' is run, `filename.bat' has preference above
  `filename'

- history file is opened O_TEXT but ^Ms are still seen explicitly

- the history file receives previous lines with extra ^Ms, at the end

- last two things went away after deleting my _bash_history, so I
  cannot reproduce it :-(

- `echo */readme' doesn't do wildcard expansion, `echo */readme*' does

- wildcard expansion does not work at all with backslashes as
  dir-separators

- C-z doesn't work (fix attached)
