My laziness is kicking in to say surely that's what the list archives
are for?  For example, this was when I used metaconfig to make a new
../Configure: http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.perl1.porters/5

So far that's been enough to get it compiling on osx and two
architectures of linux for me.  

I'm still interested in looking through the perl5 metaconfig units to
see what else is worth stealing, but I'm currently fostering the hunch
that we'll need a lot less Configure magic to bootstrap perl1 than 5.
