Remove makeaperl, never used, a wrapper for ExtUtils::MakeMaker::makeaperl

makeaperl was added in perl5.000k, wrapped as makeaperl.SH in perl5.000l, but
neither used in the core build nor installed. All it does is acts as a
command-line wrapper to makeaperl() in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

-=head1 NAME
-
-makeaperl - create a new perl binary from static extensions
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-C<makeaperl -l library -m makefile -o target -t tempdir [object_files] [static_extensions] [search_directories]>
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This utility is designed to build new perl binaries from existing
-extensions on the fly. Called without any arguments it produces a new
-binary with the name C<perl> in the current directory. Intermediate
-files are produced in C</tmp>, if that is writeable, else in the
-current directory. The most important intermediate file is a Makefile,
-that is used internally to call C<make>. The new perl binary will consist
-
-The C<-l> switch lets you specify the name of a perl library to be
-linked into the new binary. If you do not specify a library, makeaperl
-writes targets for any C<libperl*.a> it finds in the search path. The
-topmost target will be the one related to C<libperl.a>.
-
-With the C<-m> switch you can provide a name for the Makefile that
-will be written (default C</tmp/Makefile.$$>). Likewise specifies the
-C<-o> switch a name for the perl binary (default C<perl>). The C<-t>
-switch lets you determine, in which directory the intermediate files
-should be stored.
-
-All object files and static extensions following on the command line
-will be linked into the target file. If there are any directories
-specified on the command line, these directories are searched for
-C<*.a> files, and all of the found ones will be linked in, too. If
-there is no directory named, then the contents of $INC[0] are
-searched.
-
-If the command fails, there is currently no other mechanism to adjust
-the behaviour of the program than to alter the generated Makefile and
-run C<make> by hand.
