 $! SUBCONFIGURE.COM - build a config.sh for VMS Perl.
+$!
+$! Note for folks from other platforms changing things in here:
+$!   Fancy changes (based on compiler capabilities or VMS version or
+$!   whatever) are tricky, so go ahead and punt on those.
+$!
+$!   Simple changes, though (say, always setting something to 1, or undef,
+$!   or something like that) are straightforward. Adding a new item for the
+$!   ultimately created config.sh requires adding two lines to this file.
+$!
+$!   First, a line in the format:
+$!     $ perl_foo = "bar"
+$!   after the line tagged ##ADD NEW CONSTANTS HERE##. Replace foo with the
+$!   variable name as it appears in config.sh.
+$!
+$!   Second, add a line in the format:
+$!     $ WC "foo='" + perl_foo + "'"
+$!   after the line tagged ##WRITE NEW CONSTANTS HERE##. Careful of the
+$!   quoting, as it can be tricky. 
 $! 
 $! This .COM file expects to be called by configure.com, and thus expects
 $! a few symbols in the environment. Notably:
