OK I had a look and I like the fact that it works in the LIBPREREQ macro
(which I think is used in the unix Makefile.SH -> Makefile). I had in
fact tried to build perl with [.lib]lib.pm listed in
LIBPREREQ. Unfortunately for me I listed it first in that macro, but it
needs (at least) Config.pm for the PL extraction process to work. Hence
I put it in utils2 and someone (Jarkko?) put it into LIBPREREQ where it
belongs.

OK a few things: the attached patch had carriage returns at each endl
that some uudecode programs complained about. At any rate you saved
you local copy of the configure_com_faq.html file with a browser
that managed to set line breaks in places where the original did not
have them so all 13 hunks failed. However, I *think* I managed to
apply the patch by hand so you might want to pay another visit to
see what I might have missed. I may add to the doc at some point as well.
I really appreciate your input. Thank you.
Oh,
I have posted an updated configure.com5.gz on the web at:
http://www.best.com/~pvhp/vms/cfgperl_6529/
so have at it. Btw the gzipped configure.com is just over 40k and
won't make it in its entirety to the p5p list owing to message size
restrictions.
