[rt.cpan.org 46585] (JDHEDDEN) VMS * Removed attempts to compensate for the "bin" logical added by some versions of GNV, Craig says they're futile. Put a warning into the Makefile.PL instead.

[rt.cpan.org 46678] (Craig Berry) Win32 * Restore building the core by not trying to load the Win32 module in arch_check() with miniperl. [rt.cpan.org 46667] (Max Maischein) Tests * Forgot to get rid of the tests for bytes and vmsish which were removed in 6.51_01. * Stopped running a Windows specific arch_check.t test on non-Windows.
