What a good idea!  A small example of a distribution is
what I've been wanting; it was obvious that there is a
'standard' method (is it documented anywhere?  I can't
find it in the FAQ, so perhaps it's an IFQ, Infrequently
Asked Question).

I do have a problem with that method, though - it's filling
up my C drive at an alarming rate.  A lot of times I'd like
to build on a differnt drive and keep the c:/djgpp directory
'clean' (particularly when rebuilding something as commonly
used as libc.a), but I haven't seen a way to do it apart 
from copying the whole directory tree to the other drive.

Also thanks for the new flex version, I was wondering when 
it would catch up having seen the bison one recently (but
not desperate enough to ask for it specially, 2.5.2 works
for me but it's nice to be consistent, I use 2.5.4 on Unix).

As of 08:20 UT today neither had appeared on Trier (the
fastest Simtel.Net mirror for me), although both are
on Simtel.Net - I suspect that the holidays (Easter Friday
and Monday) have interfered with the mirroring.  Not a real
problem...
