Robert Spier:
# This means, that either:
#
# a) parrot needs to bootstrap itself from some platform-dependent
#    bootstrap script.  (and hopefully there would only need to be a few
#    of these, bootstrap-unix.sh, bootstrap-windows.bat,
#    bootstrap-vms.dcl).

I vote for this option.  All we really need for this is the shell
scripts (which don't have to implement the "build-only-if-necessary"
logic of make) and a generic config.h that assumes nothing.
