File::Find? Yeah, someone a while ago went through and made it work
with MacOS files, but it's a real hack job. chromatic started on a
project to convert it all over to File::Spec, but it wound up quite a
bit slower.
On VMS it seems to work, sort of, but you get weird hybrid results
like:
user1:[schwern.src.foo]/bar/baz
Anyhow, make ExtUtils::Installed::_is_prefix not be a hack job first.
