What are the plans on supporting DBI on older platforms? Since DBI 1.57
(also in 1.58 and 1.59), some tests fail on Win98 (ActivePerl 5.8.8
build 822, module compiled with MinGW 3.4.2 (+ nmake)), while all tests
pass on XP.

The culprit appears to be in DBI::ProfileDumper. A typical error message
line:

t/41prof_dump.............flock() unimplemented on this platform at
D:\programs\ActivePerl5.8\cpan\build\DBI-1.59\blib\lib/DBI/ProfileDumper.pm
line 237.
DBI::ProfileDumper on_destroy failed: flock() unimplemented on this
platform at
D:\programs\ActivePerl5.8\cpan\build\DBI-1.59\blib\lib/DBI/ProfileDumper.pm
line 237.# Looks like you planned 15 tests but only ran 7.
# Looks like your test died just after 7.
