I forgot to mention that *.opt files are not being cleaned
on VMS as another problem that persists.
I seem to have solved the .exists getting lib/replaced into
OLB problem though. Herein is a suggested patch:

With that and the previously mentioned touchups I made to my MM_Unix.pm
I was able to build and test DBI-1.45.
I'll see about restoring the cleaning of .opt files next.
(My version of MMS is perhaps too old to bother worrying about).
