  Hi,

Dear diary, on Wed, Jun 28, 2006 at 09:39:46AM CEST, I got a letter where Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> said that...

  ow, Devel::PPPort might not be around all the way back to 5.6.0. What
is your Perl version, BTW?
->8-

This makes us not include ppport.h which seems not to give us anything real anyway; it is useful for checking for portability warts but since Devel::PPPort is a portability wart itself, we shouldn't require it for build. You can check for portability problems by calling make check in perl/.
