Subject: [PATCH] Add a recipe on how to recompile perl

We still have problems with Perl, and this is a first step to be able
to compile Perl modules ourselves.

Note: this does not (yet) install the perl stuff into lib/perl5/5.8.8/,
but rather into /lib/.

+This patch contains minimal fixups to compile dmake in msysGit
+
+If you want to build dmake from scratch, you need to get the source first:
+
+cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs co dmake
+
+Then pply this patch, and do
+
+	./configure --prefix=/ && make &&
+	cp -R dmake.exe startup /bin/
+
+(make install installs startup/ to /share/, but somehow dmake.exe does
+not pick up on that.)

+This is a recipe how to recompile perl on msysGit
+
+First, you need to get dmake.
+-----------------------------
+
+Either install the precompiled version from
+
+	http://search.cpan.org/dist/dmake/
+
+and unpack it in /bin/, or build from scratch:
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs co dmake
+cd dmake
+git apply /share/msysGit/dmake.patch
+./configure --prefix=/
+make
+cp -R dmake.exe startup/ /bin/
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(When I tried, make install did not work, because startup/ was installed
+into /share/, and dmake.exe did not find it.)
+
+Second, get & compile the perl sources
+--------------------------------------
+
+Get them from http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/CPAN/src/.  (Tried and tested with
+version 5.8.8.)
+
+Then, do something like
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+cd perl-5.8.8/win32/
+TMP="$(echo "$TMP" | tr '/' '\\')" dmake install \
+	INST_TOP="$(cd /; pwd -W | tr '/' '\\')"
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 
+The ugly tr calls are needed because dmake does not understand "/" path
+delimiters, but wants "\" ones.
+
+If it worked: congratulations.
