I think this gets the essentials in, though I haven't tested it extensively
yet (and don't know what Michael needs these for). Even though
installprefix is entirely redundant on VMS and as Peter points out is not
used according to its documentation (where Perl *will* be installed), but is
only used after the fact to figure out where Perl *has* been installed, I
don't see much harm in having it. It will be hard-wired to the same thing
as prefix. At the end of this message is a diff of the config.sh before and
after the patch just so it's easier to see what this gets us.
