758baa3dc2 Configure: impose ^X on whole build procedure.
Traditionally Configure passed $ENV{PERL} to Makefile. But this
resulted in ambiguilty as Configure script could be executed by
interpreter different from one executing remaining scripts. Since
we separate compile- and run-time interpreters with HASHBANGPERL
variable, there is no reason to segment the build procedure.

e8fd2a4cb4 Add a note about a perl issue on VMS and how to work around it
I bug in perl's File::Spec->canonpath() was uncovered.  There's
nothing we can do about it (except re-implementing canonpath()),
except working around the problem (a directory rename) and reporting
the issue to the perl module developers.

ea24fe2996 INSTALL: Make the use of [, ], { and } consistent and explain it
The diverse notations used in INSTALL are not as self explanatory as
we might imagine, so let's attempt a consistent notation for mandatory
and optional pieces of a command line, and to explain the meaning of
each notation.

This does away with the bash notation used in one spot, as it isn't
universally understood and will only confuse the unknowing more.

3c65577f1a Rename INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR, remove option --install_prefix
INSTALL_PREFIX is a confusing name, as there's also --prefix.
Instead, tag along with the rest of the open source world and adopt
the Makefile variable DESTDIR to designate the desired staging
directory.

The Configure option --install_prefix is removed, the only way to
designate a staging directory is with the Makefile variable (this is
also implemented for VMS' descrip.mms et al).
