Tweak XSLoader.t.
XSLoader is supposed to work even for extensions that
are statically linked. So only check that the extension we
test for is actually available. (This test is not supposed

Don't uppercase automatically all environment variables on DJGPP.
(reported by Richard Dawe, this breaks portability of Unix
scripts.) Don't change the behaviour on plain MS/DOS.

Ultrix tweaks: <string.h> must not be included twice
(otherwise one gets prototype conflicts between the <string.h>
and proto.h because Ultrix thinks e.g. Perl_ninstr has been
define in <string.h>...); and Configure misprobes some features.
