approach to perl5.8 as a universal variant

[reiffert@…]

I was building perl5.8 on leopard/ppc as for i386 and ppc. Now I can run it on Leopard/ppc and on Tiger/Intel, which is close to "universal".

I am no Portfile hero and there are people who need to revisit my work and adjust my patch to behave more macports like.

Kind regards Thomas

Attaching an updated version of reiffert@'s patch, which uses MacPorts' configure.universal_sysroot in place of hard-coding the SDK (plus a touch of cleanup). Instead of replacing the darwin hints patch, repeating the bind9 workaround, this just adds a second patch for universal support only.

So far, I've only tested a couple of built modules (p5-compress-raw-zlib and p5-net-ssleay), but they build universal and pass their 'make test' just fine.

One point of confusion is that building the modules is going to follow how perl5.8 is built, in that if perl is built universal, p5-* ports are going to be universal even without '+universal'...

Patch is based in /trunk/dports/lang so cd there to apply (includes both Portfile diff and the new patch).

Updated to work with the current state of perl5.8 and to handle whatever settings a user uses for universal_archs.

Seems like this was fixed by r62847.
