Hmm, looks like something to add to the todo-list for Devel::CheckLib.
I'll have to implement it by letting the user pass in some C code to run
against the library if it's found, and check whatever that code spits to
STDOUT. Sound sane?
Not that you should expect this soon. VMS portability is more important
right now, and is currently blocked on "VMS is scary, weird and foreign".
Another possibility is that I should think more about
Devel::CheckOS::OSFeatures::*.
