Seems like exactly the right place for a Cygnus-tree based
distribution. Should djunpack also work for a regular GNU
package? If so, '%WHATHEVER%' or %WHATHEVER%/djgpp' might be
better choices.

You could use a %WHATEVER%/djgpp dir with:

configure.in
djunpack.in
lfnchange.lst
(Makefile.am - maybe)

djunpack.in can probably use something like @PACKAGE@-@VERSION@
instead of WHATEVER (or configure.in could set up some
8.3-friendly version of it and AC_SUBST it).
This would only require minor changes to the top-level makefile
to get djunpack.bat from the subdir when building a distro.

As I understand it, djunpack.bat is put in the right place during
a 'make dist', so this approach should work, since you can't run
'make dist' without first configuring the package.
