Test harness patch for VMS.

[John E. Malmberg]

This is the first cut at the patches for running the test harness on VMS. The test_make.com sets up the environment and runs the test. As it makes persistent changes to the logged in session, I recommend dedicating a logged in session to running tests.

The "-help" option to test_make.com explains the usage for VMS.

The updates to the individual test scripts will follow as separate patches.



The test harness on VMS requires:

  Perl 5.18 or later.
  PCSI kits available from
     http://sourceforge.net/projects/vmsperlkit/files/

  GNV 2.1.3 or later.  GNV 3.0.1 has not tested with this script.
  Bash 4.2.47 or later.
  Coreutils 8.21 or later.
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnv/files/
  Read before installing:

Copyright assignments have been signed and submitted to fsf.org.

This has some temporary hacks in it to get around some known issues with VMS that affects multiple tests that will need to be removed as the issues are resolved.
