Hi Workers!

I could access a win95 today, so I tried to build perl. Here are the
extra things, I did:

- Change every ":" to ";" in Makedepend.SH line 51.
- Use the newest fileutils (3.13 doesn't work). 3.16 ok.

And don't forget to (these are in the Readme):

- set the SHELL environment variable
- delete the CONFIG env.var.
- stubedit cc1.exe if you want the POSIX extension

When I first tried to run Configure, I received a SIGSEGV immediately.
This was because of the TMPDIR environment var. was pointed to a
nonexisting PATH (check djgpp.env).

With these steps I've built everything successfully.

Happy Perling,

Laszlo
