[Info-vax] cURL (7.19.7) for VMS

[Steven Schweda]

   A while ago, I tried to build cURL 7.19.7 (for use with
GnuPG), and had a bunch of problems with the builder on an
ODS5 file system.  (And it did a bunch of stuff which I didn't
like anywhere, like, for example, defining DECC$SYSTEM_INCLUDE
and a bunch of other logical names, and leaving them defined.)
So, I rewrote much of the thing, and made a few (small) actual
code changes/additions, too.

   I wasn't planning to do much with cURL, just remove the
things which annoyed me, but Marty Kuhrt, the fellow who was
tending the VMS stuff seems to be short on time and/or
interest, so here we are.

   Now I'm trying to get these changes adopted by the cURL
folks, who would be interested in any comments from VMS users,
of which there seem to be few who follow the curl-library
e-mail list.  Anyone who cares should be able to find my stuff
(loose files, and a ".dru" ("diff -ru" output) file) at:

   Comments can be directly to the curl-library list, or I can
respond to or pass along any comments made here.
