Simply forgot to update readme.DJGPP after last build.

I copied in documentation directory of libstdc++-v3.

Default instalation place of libstdc++ headers changes between
gcc-2.95.X and gcc-3.0 for other system. This was reason why I 
changed it for DJGPP also. Otherwise it would be impossible to 
have for example gcc-2.95.3 and gcc-3.0 in the same directory tree
(of course it requires renaming or moving some files)

About djgpp.env. gcc-2.7.2.1 was the latest version which required 
$DJDIR/lang/cxx to be explicitly specified in djgpp.env as far as I 
remeber. I think it's time to clean this outdated stuff. I could say the 
same also about $DJDIR/include in specs.

It simply outputs argv[0]. Of course it would be possible to call
basename(argv[0]) for DJGPP only. Only question - is it really needed.
