Perl has never #defined a PERL_PATCHLEVEL, so I don't think that could
have ever fully "worked". (See diff of patchlevel.h between 5.005_50
and 5.6.0.)

Yeah, I was wondering if that were the case. I kept it just out of
paranoia.

I think the breakage you're referring to may be due to the fact that
__PATCHLEVEL_H_INCLUDED__ has been #defined by default since 5.005_62
(15 October 1999). Certainly not a "last minute change".

Oh, I wasn't arguing it was a last-minute change; in fact, checking my
notes, it's been a problem for a while in INN. I just never got a good
enough handle on it to figure out just what was going on until now. Sorry
for being unclear.
