Hopefully in time to make the feature freeze, here's an effort at solving this problem.
Looks really good. I've applied it here (with little tweaks in Configure/Step.pm) and it works fine.
Testing very much requested, most especially on Darwin and Win32.
Yeah. Anyway, I'll apply it if no one hollers. If something will break on these platforms, it should be fixable easily.
BTW what is aix.s doing? Could you add some comments please.
