Ah - sorry, there should be a separate `.zip' source archive for
DJGPP and EMX.  I am uploading it now.

It seems so.  This is done because the GPC source shall go into a
subdirectory `p' of the GCC source.  However the contents of the
directory has changed violently as well.

Yes, we first had `COPYING.gpc' and `INSTALL.gpc' in the GCC top directory,
but I thought that they are better in the `p' subdirectory.  Having two
identical files `COPYING' and `COPYING.gpc' in the GCC source looks stupid
IMHO, but having two copies of `COPYING' in different directories is okay.
