Configure.pl says:

   --miniparrot         Build parrot assuming only pure ANSI C is available

To add confusion, the build following a normal config already
constructs a miniparrot on the way to building parrot, and I thought
we were targetting this level of C across the board?

We have several tickets that refer to errors when trying to build with
this option.

I know the eventual goal was to potentially build a smaller bird, and
then use it to construct the full-sized model, but I think we might be
better off cleaning house here; We've already pretty much agreed that
Perl is going to be a build requirement through 1.0, haven't we?

I'm not sure that supporting this option (And having to fix bugs to do
it) is worth it. If we can remove this, we can also remove anything in
the code that is ifdef'd around MINIPARROT.

Comments?
