Podify the remaining README.platform files;
merge README.plan9 and plan9/perlplan9.pod; delete plan9/perlplan9.* (the perlplan.doc needs to be regenerated in Plan 9); make the =head1 and =head2 in the README.platform to be a little more verbose (skipped README.os2 not to anger Ilya) so that they look better in the toc; regen toc. p4raw-id: //depot/perl@10461

+README.hurd - Perl version 5 on Hurd
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
If you want to use Perl on the Hurd, I recommend using the Debian
GNU/Hurd distribution (see http://www.debian.org), even if an
official, stable release has not yet been made. The old `gnu-0.2'
binary distribution will most certainly have additional problems.
-* Known Problems
+=head2 Known Problems with Perl on Hurd
The Perl test suite may still report some errors on the Hurd. The
`lib/anydbm' and `pragma/warnings' tests will almost certainly fail.
