I just discovered that having crypto/des/asm/perlasm to point at
crypto/perlasm is not strictly necessary, since the perl scripts in
crypto/des/asm that depend on it add both "perlasm" and
"../../perlasm" to @INC, so the absence of crypto/des/asm/perlasm
isn't really a problem (except on DOS, where unpacking the
distribution generates a zero-length file crypto/des/asm/perlasm).
Should we simply skip the pointing in this case and remove "perlasm"
from the list of directories added to @INC in the relevant scripts?
Note that this is already how things work in crypto/md5...
