The enclosed patch exploits a MakeMaker bug fix that
Michael Schwern provided a couple weeks ago. We no longer
need to run the make utility on VMS with the 'all' target to build
ext extensions. Hence it provides a test of the module building
recipe currently documented in perlmodinstall.pod.
This patch was mentioned on the vmsperl list where it drew
no discussion (from which I surmise no opposition).
