It is, here's a patch.  It could still use changes so that it emits new
style sub invocations so that more constant folding happens, but that's
trickier.  Additional changes in the patch are removal of a "chdir
/usr/include" (which prevented you from converting files in other

of a -d switch to specify output directory (so I could test my changes
more easily).

Somewhere around here I've got the start of regression suite for h2ph,
remind me to dust it off for _50.

Sure thing is, I want to chmod 777 always for _directories_ before I
remove them, because they may contain subdirectories that need to be

Pity I'm late.

This patch
1) Fixes Term::Cap which thought that absolute paths start
with '/';
2) Adds a new method `ornaments' to Term::ReadLine;
2a) Documents an old method `tkRunning' of Term::ReadLine;
3) Adds a new `O'ption to debugger: ornaments.  Possible
values are 0, 1, or comma-separated list of 4 terminal
capabilities to surround prompt and the command line.
