Like last week, generating this isn't yet automated.

I'm above average currently, but there are two weeks in October where I'm likely to do little or no work on the core. [Attending the German Perl Workshop in Frankfurt from 19th-21st October taking up most of the second week.] "POSIX" and "Storable" from last week are now merged. I've spend a chunk of the time working on relocatable INC, prompted by Johann 'Myrkraverk' Oskarsson's patch for Solaris. As ever, it revealed other things that need looking at. Probing for <stdbool.h> is now in blead. That's a pre-requisite for finding the absolute path of $^X on OS X. [Which is an open bug, but offhand I don't know which]. I have a mostly done patches both for that, and for using sysctl() on FreeBSD. As these need more probes in Configure, I discovered that keeping Porting/chkcfgvar.pl happy is more work that it could be, so set about automating as much of that as possible. That's in a branch. I haven't actually managed to get back to the original planned task for *last* Monday, which was testing Cwd on earlier Perl versions. Nicholas Clark
