I think that would make my plans for refactoring make_ext.pl simpler.
(to allow moving dual-life modules modules involved with
Makefile.PLs into
ext too). Right now ext/$foo and vms/ext/$bar are at different depths.
That should be fine, and if for some reason it isn't, we'll find out
pretty quickly and deal with it.
VMS::Filespec is more of a special case because it's used during the
build and has hand-rolled XS code hard-wired in vms/vms.c, but because
of that it also doesn't need to go through xsubpp or other extension-
building steps and shouldn't have any need for special treatment in
make_ext.pl.
