10930 on win32

With MS VC 5 I see "macro redefinition" warnings for PERLIO_NOT_STDIO
when compiling ext/IO/IO.c owing to the C<#define PERLIO_NOT_STDIO 0>
in win32/win32.h.  Unfortunately adding a C<#ifndef PERLIO_NOT_STDIO>
guard around the #define in win32.h means that when compiling IO
I'll see "redefinition" warnings for various I/O routines like
freopen() et al. such as these:

..\..\lib\CORE\XSUB.h(329) : warning C4005: 'fopen' : macro redefinition
..\..\lib\CORE\XSUB.h(330) : warning C4005: 'fclose' : macro redefinition

..\..\lib\CORE\XSUB.h(397) : warning C4005: 'pclose' : macro redefinition

There errors seen during the compile of ext/Thread/Thread.c are still
present:

-DNO_STRICT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL_

Stop.

For which a possible workaround that seems to at least allow Thread.xs 
-> Thread.c to compile appears to be:

      DEBUG_S(PerlIO_printf(Perl_debug_log,
  	    "handle_thread_signal: got signal %d\n", sig););
      write(sig_pipe[1], &c, 1);
+ #endif /* not on win32 */
  }
  
  MODULE = Thread		PACKAGE = Thread
End of Hack (possibly a patch?)

BTW In playing with a prototype for perlivp I note that after running 

   nmake install

(into d:\perl) with the 10907 kit that the following two files are
missing, but should have been present according to .packlist entries:

d:\perl\bin/libnetcfg.bat d:\perl\bin/xsubpp.bat

I note that I do have the xsubpp installed in d:\perl\lib\ExtUtils\xsubpp
but I do not have an xsubpp.bat nor any trace of libnetcfg* in my
test installation tree in d:\perl.


Here was an odd message seen during `nmake test`:

io/fflush.............................ok, 1/4 skipped:  no fork
io/fs.................................ok 20/29The system cannot find the path specified.
io/fs.................................ok, 12/29 skipped: various reasons
io/inplace............................ok

I am not sure why io/fs.t appears to run twice, nor why the test needs to
find a certain path.

The final tally was:

Failed Test               Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed

Stop.
