Small release, mostly to fix building modules that call dir_target() (Tk,
libwin32) or completely rewrite top_targets() (SDBM_File, Compress::Zlib...).
That should solve the last of the known problems with the .exists ->
blibdirs change in 6.18.

- NetBSD was looking in INSTALLARCHLIB/CORE for libperl isntead of
PERL_ARCHLIB/CORE. Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed
(ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger]
- Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version
for backwards compatibility.
- Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section. Lots of
modules rewrite top_targets() so blibdirs wouldn't be written.

- Fixing dos2unix on Cygwin. In-place editing doesn't work 100% so we
take a more conservative approach.
- Small postamble.t test temp file cleanup fix for Cygwin and Windows.
- Small Command.t test fix for 5.5.3. No real bug [rt 4290]
- Small Liblist fix for Cygwin and import libraries [Gerrit P. Haase]
- metafile error message slightly mangled. Bare $! mistake confusing
nmake [rt 4285 4301]

This Ring, no other, is made by the elves,
Who'd pawn their own mother to grab it themselves.
Ruler of creeper, mortal, and scallop,
This is a sleeper that packs quite a wallop.
