The new 00-have-compiler.t may also need this change. I am still preparing

00-have-compiler.t doesn't actually compile anything.  It just checks
that have_compiler can detect a missing compiler or a "fake" real one.
Then have_compiler gets used for skipping tests in the other files.

EU::CBuilder does not *require* a compiler -- which is the whole point
of a method called have_compiler() -- so for CPAN installation, it
needs to skip compilation tests on systems that don't have it.

I'll address the other cleanup issue, but I'm curious what .LIS file
are since the code does try to clean up source, object and output
files.  Just VMS-specific extra compiler output?  (Maybe I shouldn't
be that curious about VMS or it will make my head hurt.  :-)


.LIS is a compiler listing. I'm not sure what the exact equivalent would be from gcc or if there even is one. It shows the code with line numbers as the compiler sees them after headers are included. Depending on what options you chose, it might expand macros, show generated assembly code, etc.

.OPT is a linker options file, which also seems not to get cleaned up sometimes.
