[PATCH: perl@186389] add probe for yet another dangerous logical name: COMP

Greetings,

In running the test suite for perl@186389 I encountered
failed tests for:

lib/ExtUtils/t/Installed.............FAILED at test 47

and it turns out that a warning issued by File::Find
was the culprit.  It turns out that File::Find was complaining
about an inability to cd into the t/comp directory.
The reason that it could not do that is because I had a
COMP logical name defined in my environment.

The enclosed patch adds a probe and warning for the
COMP logical name to configure.com and also updates
the README.vms file to better match the logical names that
have built up in configure.com.
