It's OK but:
1. Do not add file to the djgpp directories!
2. Do not change djgpp.env! 

(thanks to Eli Zaretskii)

To add Your libraries to your environment do:
1. Create a private directory C:\mylibs and put all your libraries here
2. Set (AUTOEXEC.bat) the environment variable LIBRARY_PATH to point to
your directory:
	set LIBRARY_PATH=C:\mylibs

involved, so it seems.

Suggestions?
