I can confirm that this solution would be fine for VMS since
DFSEP contains an empty string as it needs.

I am trying to imagine what utility there is in having
a dependence on /unix/path/to/xsubpp inside the Makefile.
Perhaps if you were hacking on xsubpp it might be helpful, but
even if you were doing that I'd argue that your time would be
better spent starting off running the
perl Makefile.PL
command and not relying on a dependence upon xsubpp to trigger
your module/extension rebuilds for you. I could be missing
something here though (???).
At any rate the folloing patch to MM_Unix.pm does allow
for DBI 1.45 to build on VMS (with the two other patches
applied to MM_VMS.pm):

I have not tested that on Unix though.
