[PATCH] Symbian sync

Small regressions conquered.
(1) PL_reg_names[] was new globally modifiable data. Cannot be.
regcomp.pl tweaked to constify it, run to regen regnodes.h.
(2) AutoSplit.pm had joined 5.9.5-only club. This posed a problem
to Symbian build (or many cross-compiling builds, I guess) where
the host Perl (probably q 5.8.x) tried to use the AutoSplit.pm when
building the extensions. I had to resort to quite ugly tricks,
hopefully it now works for both 5.8.x and 5.9.x. I hope Rafael
forgives me for backpedaling his 5.9-pride :-) (Of course one
could make a requirement that to cross-build Perl x.y you need
to have Perl x.y also in the host, but that would sound cruel.
Being backward compat to at least the previous maint sounds nicer.)
(3) I did the build with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition,
which uses the Microsoft Visual C 8, instead of the old VC6,
and amazingly it worked. So noted.
