Except...
The big problem is that we can't generate the C without perl, and we can't
run perl without the C.
I expect we'll end up distributing the pre-generated C with the source kits
and rebuilding them as needed, the same way we do now with the files that
embed.pl generates. We could, I suppose, do this with microperl, but it
seems like one more step that could go wrong when you build perl.
