My mistake.

Uhm, I didn't think of that.
Anyway, seeing that the $MM->foo() calls get replaced by File::Spec calls
in MakeMaker, I hope that we can scrap these routines completely.
Beside, MM_Unix.pm implements them all, and MM_VMS.pm, which should
override them, already uses File::Spec? Huh?
And then there is the fact the MM_Unix is for Unix, and VMS for the VMS
stuff, but MM_Unix does some $^O checking and then handles quite a lot of
OS/2, DOS, VMS etc cases by itself? And then MM_VMS.pm handles only, uh
well, the, really VMS specific code?
Basically, it is a mess.
I start by providing tests and letting MM_Unix.pm use File::Spec, then we
see about the rest.
Cheers,
Tels
