Well, looks like you guys did the hard part and forgot the easy part.
All this stuff is collected but never written out, and I wouldn't
swear that I've found all the missing ones. Does this look right?:

That yields the following in config.sh; I'm building with the result now.
xs_apiversion='5_6_0'
pm_apiversion='5_6_0'

It turns out 'arch' existed in 5.005 but must have been deprecated;
it's probably best to patch installperl to use 'archname'.

Thanks, and to Brad for the explanation. Whoever wrote the
equivalent part of installperl was probably thinking grep and wrote
map. It does make me wonder whether this part of the install ever
worked.
I hope to have a patch out soon with all this stuff resolved.
