Apologies, and cont of problems compiling perl

[Todd Goodman]

I had the same problem.  For a quick fix, I just commented out the check in
installperl:

 -x 'perl' . $exe_ext	|| die "perl isn't executable!\n";
 -x 'suidperl' . $exe_ext|| die "suidperl isn't executable!\n" if $d_dosuid;

I didn't want to mess with the operators or figure out NT permissions at
this time.

I also changed installman to install the man pages in subdirectories
correctly:

For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to
"gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
