Please don't advise users to edit DJGPP.ENV.  Its syntax is cryptic,
and a wrong change in it can easily render a DJGPP installation
useless.

These kinds of changes should be done by setting environment
variables, not by editing DJGPP.ENV.

Not that I understand why putting user libraries in the same directory
as system libraries would be a problem in the first place.
