I have a new set of patches against perl5.004 which produce a fairly
functional version of perl.  I've got the percentage of successful
tests up to 90.13%.  Most of the failures now have to do with things
like umask and checks for protections that aren't supported under
gnu-win32.  This is all under Windows NT.  I still haven't had the
time to build this under Windows 95.

My question:  Should I post the patches to the list?  The patch
file is about 21K uuencoded.  A number of people have expressed interest
in this, so it is possible that the best way to distribute it is
to send it to the entire list.
