    DGJPP: re-introduce support, on Windows 2000 and later
    
    See automake bug#13435.
    
    The problematic DGJPP-related code should no longer be necessary today:
    
     * the code to support DJGPP-style split info files ('*.i[0-9][0-9]')
       is no longer needed, since we have dropped support for split info
       files anyway (see commit v1.13.1-60-gcdba479 and automake  bug#13351);
    
     * on Windows 2000 and later, modern version of DJGPP support file names
       starting with dots.
    
    With that, the remaining pieces of code required to support DJGPP on
    non-ancient Windows are few and unobtrusive enough that we re-introduce
    them, in order to keep DJGPP alive -- the cost/benefit ratio has become
    definitely small enough for that.
    
    Note that support for DJGPP on DOS and Windows 95/98/ME is *not*
    reintroduced.  That is no longer worth worrying about.
    
    For reference, here are the commits where we removed DJGPP support:
    - v1.13-6-gad08bbf, "Drop support for DJGPP, MS-DOS, Windows 95/98/ME"
    - v1.13-7-gff0c7f8, "general: assume dot-starting file names are supported"
    
    * NEWS: Make clear that DJGPP on Windows 2000 and later should still be
    supported.
    * automake.in (BEGIN): Override $ENV{SHELL} for DJGPP.
    * maintainer/syntax-checks.mk (automake_diff_no): Adjust, as there are
    now eight (not just seven) different lines between 'automake.in' and
    'automake'.
    * bootstrap.sh ($BOOTSTRAP_SHELL): Give a more proper default for DJGPP.
