* Fix a bug which prevented the second invocation of overloaded
subs governed by SelfLoader from functioning.
* Fix a bug with XS modules. MakeMaker determines where the xsubpp
preprocessor is located by adding "ExtUtils" string to the Perl's
system path. At the same time, BSDPAN has to fool MakeMaker into
thinking that the Perl's system path is elsewhere. Now we
`reverse-adjust' the notion of the Perl's system path for a
moment, so xsubpp utility is found.
This should fix the breakage with some p5- ports.

BSDPAN is the collection of modules that provides tighter than ever
integration of Perl into BSD Unix.
Currently, BSDPAN does the following:
o makes p5- FreeBSD ports PREFIX-clean;
o registers Perl modules in the FreeBSD package database with a
package name derived from the module name.
The name is of the form: bsdpan-ModuleName-V.VV.
Anyone interested in where BSDPAN is developing should read Anton's
message to the ports mailling list:

I have held this back for over a year, as we will always have to wrestle
with the question of "*which* libiberty sources to use". Sigh, if only
the GNU people would treat it as a totally separate library from GCC, et al.
and release it as such...
"locailzed"; it should read "localized".
* The "test" operator can be a bit dangerous (e.g., if
a newbie writes a script named "test" and has it call
"apropos", which calls "test, ...).
* In its use as "whatis", apropos formats the first
line of the output differently than the following
lines. Specifically, it leaves out all but one of
the spaces that precede the dash in the first line.

of stuff (and thus length of error output) we put on the invocation command
line. Also follow the new FSF/GNU style of giving the symbol a value so it
can be used in `if()' statements in addition to `#if' so seldomly compiled
in code (on some platforms) gets compiled always, to help reduce bit-rot.

current_file_name and current_link_name sometimes point into the
middle of malloc()ed memory and sometimes point to alloca()ed memory,
but free() is sometimes called on them. This seems to be harmless
for the usual tar operations, but it is usually fatal for `tar -W'.
E.g., for `cd /etc; tar Wcf /tmp/foo rc', at the start of
verify_volume(), current_file_name points to alloca()ed memory, and
tar attempts to free it.
