Change the *nix and VMS Makefiles to to pass a filename to writemain().
Adding a first argument as a reference to the filename "perlmain.c" makes ExtUtils::Miniperl::writemain() open and close the file for us. This is safer than having the Makefile create the file using output redirection as that can create an empty file if compilation aborts. This change means that the file is only moved into place with the correct name if it has been written completely without error. If an error happens the file is not created, the make aborts, and any subsequent make will re-attempt to create the file, instead of continuing with an incorrect file, hiding the real cause of the problems.
