e8fd2a4cb4 Add a note about a perl issue on VMS and how to work around it
I bug in perl's File::Spec->canonpath() was uncovered.  There's
nothing we can do about it (except re-implementing canonpath()),
except working around the problem (a directory rename) and reporting
the issue to the perl module developers.

368058d0a7 Force argv to be an array of long pointers on VMS
Reverts commit 087ca80ad8

Instead of battling the odd format of argv given to main() in default
P64 mode, tell the compiler to make it an array of 64-bit pointers
when compiling in P64 mode.

A note is added in NOTES.VMS regarding minimum DEC C version.

7793e17440 VMS: add a note about DECC$* logical names
These logical names are used to make the C RTL change certain
behaviors, sometimes to make it act more like Unix.  While they can
make life easier in some cases, they can be disruptive as well.  When
building and testing OpenSSL, the latter is the case, so we ask people
to avoid using them.

b54e35f6cd VMS: compensate for command line length limits with a logical name
Sometimes, you might end up with a rather long compile line due to
excessively long /INCLUDE directories.  Compensate for it by making
a temporary logical name with them and using said logical name as
/INCLUDE argument.

A note was added to NOTES.VMS regarding these limitations.

2acd8ec7a9 Change the INSTALL documentation for unified builds
Because of the unified scheme, building on different platforms is very
similar.  We currently have Unix and OpenVMS on the unified scheme,
which means that a separate INSTALL.VMS is no longer needed.
