-There are improved hints for DEC/OSF, VOS (33425), Cygwin (33484).
+A new configutation variable C<d_pseudofork> has been to C<Configure>, and is
+available as  C<$Config{d_pseudofork}> in the C<Config> module. This
+distinguishes real C<fork> support from the pseudofork emuluation used on
+Windows platforms.
