There are a few packages which mysteriously fail during the configure
stage. Give us better means of understanding why.
Also, some Makefile.PL's have "use" statements which reference
files which are in or under ".".

5.26.1 introduced default_inc_excludes_dot which is causing
perl-html-tags and possibly other modules to fail. Add explict
dot back when invoking module's ./Makefile.PL.

Required changes:
* Add qualifying '.' to scripts or to @INC, as appropriate since we're
enabling default_inc_excludes_dot;
* Add new platform/library definitions like double-double format and
locale library functions/headers;
* Delete patch 020 as it's been upstreamed;
Optional changes:
* Instead of using -@rm and having that fail, emit an error message,
and be ignored, just use @rm -f instead which will always succeed.

[CVE-2017-12837] Heap buffer overflow in regular expression compiler
Compiling certain regular expression patterns with the case-insensitive
modifier could cause a heap buffer overflow and crash perl. This has
now been fixed. [perl #131582]
[CVE-2017-12883] Buffer over-read in regular expression parser
For certain types of syntax error in a regular expression pattern, the
error message could either contain the contents of a random, possibly
large, chunk of memory, or could crash perl. This has now been fixed.
[perl #131598]
[CVE-2017-12814] $ENV{$key} stack buffer overflow on Windows

The standard way to pass -rdynamic (or -Wl,--dynamic-export) is via
the $ccdlflags variable. Do what is best practice.

That way some python packages can choose
to keep their egg-info dirs, if they want to, or they're needed.

The FPM SAPI works fine without the CGI SAPI installed. It seems that
this is a copy & paste error introduced a long time ago, when FPM support
was added - and nobody noticed.
So drop the dependency now to allow smaller footprints on installations
which only use FPM.
