This involved:
* Installing miniperl as $dev/bin/perl
* Setting miniperl to take INC from
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}cross_perl/${version} as well as
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}/${version}/${runtimeArch}, in that
order. miniperl taking from runtimeArch is not really correct, but
it works in some pure-perl cases (e.g. Config.pm) and can be
overridden with the cross_perl variant.
* Installing perl-cross's stubs into
$dev/lib/perl5/cross_perl/${version}
* Patching MakeMaker.pm to gracefully degrade (very slightly) if B.pm
can't be loaded, which it can't in cross-compilation.
* Passing the right build-time and runtime perls to Makefile.PL
... after auto-removing some kinds of files by default.
In some cases I let them be removed and in others I let them be put into
$docdev. That was more due to general indecisiveness on this question
than any reasons in the particular cases.
- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
* Remove explicit setting of PERL5LIB.
* Use the generic Perl builder for the BerkeleyDB and XML::Parser
modules.
* Prefix all names of Perl modules with `perl-' (in the generic Perl
builder).

* MythTV: the setup program works :-).
* Added XmlTV. This requires a huge number of Perl modules, so...
* Added a generic builder for Perl modules. I'm lazy so the modules
are defined directly in all-packages-generic.nix. The generic
builder also patches Perl scripts to include a hard-coded Perl
module search path (i.e., similar to an RPATH in ELF executables).
