The following set of patches is a subset of patches I created
while trying to compile on solaris and get the test suite running.
Except for the patches to the perl modules section, the rest all
deal with the test suite. I think these are general improvements
(or benign changes) and so I am submitting them.

With these patches and the others which I will maintain privately,
I can compile git on solaris using the native c compiler and pass
nearly all of the test suite with the native shell in /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
(i.e. ksh). The remaining bits of the test suite that do not pass are
related to a broken iconv or an ancient build environment.

Here are the tests I am skipping:

GIT_SKIP_TESTS='
   t3900.1[0-289] t3900.2[023]
   t3901.*
   t5000.1[0-24-689] t5000.2[01]
   t5100.[56] t5100.10
   t6030.1[2-9] t6030.2[0-9]
   t9301.4

Well, those patches were all supposed to be sent as a
reply to this message, but I can't use git-send-email
and it turns out thunderbird replaces the message-id
for messages when you 'Edit As New...' (which is how
I have been submitting my patches).
