%DJDIR%/gnu/emacs is the canonical place for Emacs in the DJGPP tree.

Also, I don't understand the ``outdated'' part.  The binary on SimTel
is based on the latest official release of Emacs.

I don't plan to change the Emacs installation tree.  The DJGPP port is
set up to build and install in-place.  If you move it, you will have
to set all kinds of environment variables to let Emacs find its files,
or hack the epaths.h header to have the relevant directories
hard-wired there, in which case they will not work on someone else's
machine.

What's wrong with %DJDIR%/gnu/emacs/, anyway?  Are there any real
reasons for changing the current defaults?
