more changes for new-style version numbers (versions numbers on
the filesystem look like 5.5.640, except on DOS-DJGPP and VMS where they look like 5_5_640; delete @Config{pm_apiversion,xs_apiversion}; split $Config{apiversion} into three, @Config{apirevision,apiversion, apisubversion} for CPP friendliness; $Config{sitelib} now defaults to .../site_perl/$version, just like $Config{privlib}, making sitelib completely independent across versions and substantially eliminating chances of breaking older installations by overwriting newly built extensions; all this means compatibility inclusions for @INC will need to take into account older sitelib versions (this still TODO) windows, vms, dos tweaks for the above p4raw-id: //depot/perl@4773

-/* PERL_XS_APIVERSION:
- * This variable contains the version of the oldest perl binary
- * compatible with the present perl. perl.c:incpush() and
- * lib/lib.pm will automatically search in $sitearch for older
- * directories across major versions back to xs_apiversion.
- * This is only useful if you have a perl library directory tree
- * structured like the default one.
- * See INSTALL for how this works.
- * The versioned site_perl directory was introduced in 5.005,
- * so that is the lowest possible value.
- * Since this can depend on compile time options (such as
- * bincompat) it is set by Configure. Other non-default sources
- * of potential incompatibility, such as multiplicity, threads,
- * debugging, 64bits, sfio, etc., are not checked for currently,
- * though in principle we could go snooping around in old
- * Config.pm files.

-/* PERL_PM_APIVERSION:
- * This variable contains the version of the oldest perl
- * compatible with the present perl. (That is, pure perl modules
- * written for pm_apiversion will still work for the current
- * version). perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically
- * search in $sitelib for older directories across major versions
- * back to pm_apiversion. This is only useful if you have a perl
- * library directory tree structured like the default one. The
- * versioned site_perl library was introduced in 5.005, so that's
- * the default setting for this variable. It's hard to imagine
- * it changing before Perl6. It is included here for symmetry
- * with xs_apiveprsion -- the searching algorithms will
- * (presumably) be similar.
- * See the INSTALL file for how this works.
