There were two problems that I encountered in compiling dev.13 on
DJGPP. The configure file doesn't work under DJGPP. If I regenerate
the configure file with a DJGPP port of autoconf 2.59 (using an
autoconf compiled with Tom's autoconf patch), then configure works.
The errors that I get when running the supplied configure script are:

configure: loading site script d:/djgpp/share/config.site
./configure: sed: command not found
./configure: chmod: command not found
./configure: rm: command not found
./configure: rm: command not found
./configure: touch: command not found
configure: error: cannot run /dev/env/DJDIR/bin/bash.exe ./config.sub
./configure: sed: command not found
./configure: sed: command not found
./configure: rm: command not found

I am not sure exactly where the configure script fails, but I suspect
that it is in parsing the DOS $PATH, which has separators of ";"
instead of ":".

The other problem is that "make install-doc" doesn't work because the
TAR_PIPE_OPTIONS, TAR_UP_OPTIONS, and TAR_DOWN_OPTIONS aren't detected
properly, since the macro doesn't take into account executable
extensions. I think that this patch fixes it.
