I'd like to cherry-pick to blead the single commit on
smoke-me/nicholas/Win32-Ui_rpcsvcdbm. It changes i_rpcsvcdbm from 'define'
to 'undef' in 3 Win32 config files, and undefines I_RPCSVC_DBM in 3 headers.

Commit message explains it:

    On Win32, i_rpcsvcdbm should be 'undef' as there is no <rpcsvc/dbm.h>
    
    3 canned Win32 config files had i_rpcsvcdbm as 'define', and consequently
    their generated headers had I_RPCSVC_DBM defined. This symbol means that
    a header file <rpcsvc/dbm.h> exists and should be included. However, it's
    only used by ODBM_File, which is not built on Win32, so nothing ever noticed
    the error.
    
    The errors in the header files seem to date from commit 0a753a764065f226
    ("[inseparable changes from patch from perl5.003_23 to perl5.003_24]" in
    Jan 1997), which added the Win32 port. The config file, win32/config.w32,
    has i_rpcsvcdbm as 'undef' but the header file win32/config.h is
    inconsistent, with I_RPCSVC_DBM defined.
    
    The errors in the canned configs seem to date from commit 68dc074516a6859e
    ("[inseparable changes from match from perl-5.003_93 to perl-5.003_94]" in
    March 1997), where the value of i_rpcsvcdbm was changed in win32/config.w32


It passes on Win32. If, instead, I tell Win32 to build ODBM_File, trusting
the config that that header file exists:

No, it doesn't exist.
