I agree here.  There are still *lots* of warnings.  I've slowly whittled
away at them, but there are lots to go.  Fixing some of them might also
help re-claim the Tru64 systems, which are currently failing with
unaligned access errors in the tinderbox.

Similarly, it may be a good time to revisit our "core" platforms and see
if they all work.  A lot of the library stuff, especially the shared
library stuff, is rather dlopen-specific.  I suspect the perl6 stuff
probably doesn't work now with AIX, HP/UX, OS/2, Unicos, or VMS, to name
just a few.  I'd be very happy to be proven wrong.

It may be that 0.0.9 isn't the time for such portability issues (which are
*hard*).  That's ok, too, but I thought I'd raise the issue.
