Parrot on VMS

Hi all!

Just a little (pre-)announcement...

At this year's YAPC::EU the german VAXman persuaded me into attempting a port of Parrot to VMS.
While I'm still fighting my way through the build process, I already do have a working parrot.exe:

$ mcr []parrot -"V"
This is Parrot version 4.9.0-devel built for IA64-vms

All changes needed to get the build going on VMS will eventually appear on https://github.com/parrot/parrot
And as VAXman is a big fan of VAXen, I will keep compatability towards OpenVMS VAX 7.2 in mind
(as that's what his main machine FAFNER.dyndns.org is running under).

cu,
Martin
