[HEADSUP] bsd.perl.mk import coming soon

The refactoring that gabor has done to recreate bsd.perl.mk will be
imported soon, along with the many ports that it simplifies.  Due to
the size of the patch, I expect there to be collisions that I will have
to adjust as I go, so expect the tree to be broken briefly while I work
through the checkin.

The main feature of the change will be to allow USE_PERL5= 5.8.0+ (and
similarly for USE_PERL5_RUN, USE_PERL5_BUILD, PERL_CONFIGURE and
PERL_MODBUILD).  As a side-effect, the remaining few stragglers that
attempt to keep perl5.003 going will be dropped.  (Other committers
have also been removing that code).
