LWP builds cleanly but throws a variety of pain-to-track-down test
errors. This is a VMS-specific patch, not to bypass the tests for VMS
but to get them to work properly.
There are three basic areas of patching:
the equivalent of "/dev/nul" on VMS is "nl:"
$Config{'perlpath'} isn't defined on VMS, use $^X instead.
VMS can have multiple "version numbers" of the same filename,
need to do a "while(unlink(..files..)){}" to make sure we get
rid of all of them.
Patch follows.
