o Move building libperl and miniperl from build-tools to
cross-tools. libperl uses MACHINE_ARCH to determine the
right configuration, which doesn't match the build
machine when cross-building if they are built as build-
tools.
o Since miniperl needs to be built as a cross-tool, it
needs to be installed under /usr/obj so that it can be
used (cross-tools have a special object directory to
avoid build conflicts. As a downside, you can't easily
run cross-tools from their object directory). Remove
the install and distribute override targets. To avoid
having miniperl installed by installworld, remove it
from SUBDIR.
o We can't pickup miniperl from the object directory but
since it's installed, depend on PATH. This is save,
because the makefiles are run with a known path.
o Build libperl again as part of the library target. A
_libperl variable existed, but it was never defined.
o Add chmod to the list of saved tools, because perl
conditionally uses it during install.
The bootstrap-tools and cross-tools targets are modified to
avoid building profiled and shared libraries. While here,
have these targets build static binaries instead of shared
binaries.

pod files to be converted to and installed as manual pages.
These were probably overlooked in the last minor version number upgrade
to perl5. This change was approved by the perl5 maintainer.

o make install ; make install now works
o make all ; make all is quiet the second time
o Dependancies are properliy debugged; this means that make -jN has a
far hihjer likelyhood of working.
o a proper 'link farm' has been constructed for the build. This
dramatically simplifies the dependancy tangle.
o for perldoc's use, all the .pod files are installed.
o the man3 docs are properly compressed.
o the man pages and libary code are installed by the makefiles, not
by a perl script.
o at the end, h2ph is run.
