Ok, I got to VMS.C.  It and vmsish.h are going to need a bit of fixes in 
order to work with the rest of Perl.
Mostly fixing it so that it has the const qualifiers that Perl expects 
the wrapper and OS specific routines to have, and that also means making 
sure that those routines to not modify them.
Each pass through is revealing more routines that have either have to 
maintain the const attribute or make a copy of the data.
