Mac OS X should now build out of the box, even on HFS+
(a case-preserving but case-forgiving filesystem).  One of the changes
made because of Mac OS X *might* have consequences on Dynix/ptx and
OS/2: what changed was that previously cppflags set in the hints files
were coldly ignored by Configure, now they are respected.
Changes tested by the unstoppable Paul Schinder.

A mysterious mess of my making that had stumped VMS for a while has
now hopefully been banished (code word: tzname), sorry about the mess.

The recent Cwd change (#9797) was slightly broken (it didn't terminate
the filenames properly), this showed up in DIRNAMLENless systems like
HP-UX as failures in lib/cwd (obviously) and in all of the pod/ tests.

Which brings me to the major rewrite of HP-UX hints files: Jeff and
Merijn have rewritten and reorganized the whole hints file to prepare
for Itanium: extensive testing on HP-UX would be good.

Amiga lives!  Jan-Erik Karlsson tested 5.7.1 on AmigaOS and it still
works despite my hard work of introducing bloat as fast as I can.
Some failures still in op/taint but those are probably portability
glitches, and are being worked on.

Not a single patch from Robin Houston, I'm getting kind of worried.

Changes since the last:
