From the code optimization issue, it is better if I can just add a
const qualifier to the routines in VMS.C. I can try putting such a
qualifier in the header files and VMS.C and see what shakes out when
VMS.C gets compiled.
Ok, I got to VMS.C. It and vmsish.h are going to need a bit of fixes in
order to work with the rest of Perl.
Mostly fixing it so that it has the const qualifiers that Perl expects
the wrapper and OS specific routines to have, and that also means making
sure that those routines to not modify them.
Each pass through is revealing more routines that have either have to
maintain the const attribute or make a copy of the data.
