MakeMaker defines a macro to tack onto the end of a shell command to make it
silent.  DEV_NULL.

On Unix its '> /dev/null 2>&1'.
Windows defines it as '> NUL'.

MacOS Classic doesn't have a definition and that causes problems.  It means
more code that really has to be is overriden in MM_MacOS.pm to strip out
$(DEV_NULL) calls.

Is there something MakeMaker can stick on the end of a command in the MPW
shell (I think its the MPW shell that MM_MacOS is typically run with) to
supress its output?
