Of course it's not ready (booted half day from win to dos to linux trying
to undelete a directory with files beyond the 8GB barrier :-).  So I can
ask some more questions:

- What is the preferred place for the DJGPP makefiles?  Should I create
`DJGPP' subdirectories (like the win32 ans mac subdirs) or should I put it
in the top directories of vorbis, ogg and vorbis-tools?  There seems to
be nothing needed except a makefile (no newsource files, like win32 needs)
so a directory seems purrposeless.

- What should I be able make?  Currently, I'd go with building (of
course), install (only libs and includes or should I install docs too?)
and clean.

- Where should the built libs go (before install) - the source directories
or the top directories?
