References to djdev203_u2.zip have been removed from all sections of the
HOWTO.
Is 'djcrx203.zip' going to be the final release filename for the cross to
dos file package?

Regarding the files in the cross directory.  I have asked this question
quite a few times now.  What is patch.lib for?

Speaking only for myself, I would add the revised HOWTO to the cross
directory as a supplement.  The supplement could then simply be presented as
a revised HOWTO specific to current sources (djcrx203 and 204alpha) for the
Linux host build.  This particular document doesn't present itself to be the
correct HOWTO for older releases, although with Andris's scripts, it
probably is mostly applicable.

On the other hand, If there are certain older releases that you feel are
popular and you would like me to try building them, I would be glad to do so
and document the steps at that time.
