-	We compile miniperl static. It cannot fork, thus there may be

-	We compile perl___.exe A.OUT and dynamic. It should be able to

-	If we can fork, we my_popen by popen unless "-|". Thus we
-		write a cooky "-1" into the pid array to indicate
-		this.
-	Apparently we can fork, and we can load dynamic extensions
-		now, though probably not simultaneously.
-	*DB tests corrected for OS/2 one-user stat[2].
-	/bin/sh is intercepted and replaced by SH_PATH.
-	Note that having '\\' in the command line of one-arg `system'

-	Segfault with system {'ls'} 'blah'; corrected.
-	Documentation of OS/2-different features added to main PODs.

-					  after a drive)
-		Cwd::sys_is_relative	- changes with current dir
-		Cwd::sys_cwd		- Interface to cwd from EMX.
-		Cwd::sys_abspath(name, dir)	
-					- Really really odious
-					  function. Returns absolute
-					  name of file which would

-					Dir defaults to the current dir.
