So here's the list o' obstacles to proper prefixifying on VMS.

- Obviously, you can't just concatenate paths.

- VMS prior to bleadperl is missing large chunks of %Config.


And here's what we've got going for us:

- All the existing %Config entires seem to be of the form
  perl_root:[...] which makes it relatively easy to figure out the
  prefix.


so what I'm going to do is override prefixify() on VMS so that it
looks for perl_root:, tears that out and hard-codes your new PREFIX.

I'm also going to override init_INSTALL so that on 5.6.1 and back it
will attempt to recover the missing %Config variables from other
existing ones.

Is there an airport nearby or is that just my tae-kwon-do taking off?
