I believe the M::BI problem is now fixed. But there still work to be done:
- Schwern will soon forfeit his patching slot if he doesn't show up
- the cygwin getpwent problem-- we simply cannot have several tests
dumping core.
- the debugger tests gave me a lot of pain trying to make them portable--
in the end I gave up (now one must have fork()). Given how much pain
they exhibited I'm somewhat suspicious about them in general.
- I'm seeing new test failures (from Alan Burlison's smokes) on the
new thread tests that were added for the mod_perl2 breakage caused
by Marcus' patch. A race condition in the new tests? Something
else stupid in the new tests? Something really broken in threading
and these new tests show it? Most of the "breaker" patch was retracted
but one part was still applied.
- Sean Burke has submitted his suggestions for =encoding documentation
to the pod-people mailing lists. If not comments show up, I will just
borg the suggestions tomorrow. This is the only good news, I guess.
Changes since the last:

Win32 is playing to hard to get but I do not have
time to chase it, so restore #21072, more or less.
I think testing the debugger in UNIX-like places
is enough, no need to go into painful contortions
trying to "portably" run interactive programs like
the debugger.

Clean up pp_readdir() somewhat.
[ 21085]
Superparanoia.
[ 21086]
XSRETURN_UV was missing.
[ 21087]
Add Hash::Util::hash_seed() which answers among
other things the question whether our hashes are
"randomised". (They always were...)
[ 21088]
5.8.1 was mistakenly redefining PL_sv_placeholder.

Let's require fork for this test.
[ 21077]
Move Config test.
[ 21078]
In Win32 the cmd.exe console output doesn't seem to
be catchable using the in-memory I/O + select trick,
so use tie-STDOUT trick instead.
[ 21080]
In Win32 IPC::Open3 + IO::Select does not work that well
so mostly undo the change #21072 and revert back to using
a temp file.

1. Work around the bug fixed by #20587 (because it's in 5.8.0).
2. Compensate for PL_sv_placeholder <= 5.8.1.
3. Clean up non-backwards-compatible tests.
4. Prepare for the 2.08 CPAN release.
[ 21052]
Musty corners of Syslog.pm.
[ 21057]
Updated Sharp Zaurus cross-compilation from Redvers Davies.
