Devel::PPPort from bleadperl generates ppport.h incompatible with Perl
5.005

Simple way to reproduce this problem is take this module from
bleadperl sources and try to build it with Perl 5.005. PPPort.xs
uses ppport.h so its build fails.

master:~/PPPort$ make test
mkdir blib
mkdir blib/lib
mkdir blib/lib/Devel
cp PPPort.pm blib/lib/Devel/PPPort.pm
/usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach -I/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 ppport_h.PL ppport.h

cc -c        -DVERSION=\"2.0002\"  -DXS_VERSION=\"2.0002\" -DPIC -fpic -I/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach/CORE  PPPort.c
In file included from PPPort.xs:7:
ppport.h:176: could_not_find_Perl_patchlevel.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
