zippo doesn't require DJGPP.ENV or CWSDPMI (it has PMODE/DJ built-in), so
it's perfectly capable of installing everything from scratch. In fact,
this is how I updated to 2.02 - I reinstalled (almost) everything using
zippo.

Maybe I have missed something here - what changes does bash make to
DJGPP.ENV? I don't remember anything from trying the bash 2.03 beta
binaries.
