After the great ext/ renaming, installperl stopped properly parsing the

Jan Dubois [Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:30:32 +0000]
On Windows normalize $^X using GetLongPathName()
If perl.exe is called with a short pathname, then GetModuleFileName()
will return this short name, and $^X will be set to it. This in turn
is used to initialize @INC to privlib, sitelib and vendorlib locations
relative to $^X, so they too will end up with the mangled short names.
Perl will also automatically add versioned Perl directories in the
same tree if their names start with the same major and minor Perl
version numbers. This heuristic can be broken when the pathname
components are using short pathnames. Therefore $^X and @INC should
all be normalized to use the long pathname format.

add CLONEf_KEEP_PTR_TABLE to win fork emulation.
This keeps the ptr-table table around after the thread has been created.
This has been on for user threads for a while now, but not for

being there, so crashes under windows forks. This increases memory usage
per fork, but stops things crashing. Sigh.

WIFEXITED() cygwin regression

until I kill perl, because you must use an argument for WIFEXITED.
It didn't fail before, so I assume it's a cygwin regression, but it
must be fixed in the perl testsuite,
