It might be easier if there were no "ln -s" in DJGPP. It exists, but
won't work for what we are doing. It is a limited implementation which
works only for executable files in the same directory. If you try this
with header files, a symbolic link will be made and "ln -s" succeeds,
but the link won't work. DJGPP uses a config.site file that works with
GNU autoconfigure, to automatically make "ln -s" fail during configure,
but that doesn't work with the perl Configure in openssl.
