(*) Strictly speaking I think this would need more thinking:
how are -Uusedl and embedding supposed to interplay anyway, and
therefore maybe also some other platforms have need for a thing
similar to the "-non_shared" in Tru64, and therefore it should be
a Configure var and/or hints files needed for ExtUtils::Embed,
maybe, but anyway, this patch gets things working for me.
