             "perldoc perldelta" still says 5.8.3 to 5.8.4, even though there
             *is* a "perldoc perl583delta" properly.

             /usr/bin/locale steadfastly delivers 8 bit output independent of
             LC_ALL. So when perl's expecting utf8, things don't quite work right.
             This has become visible since fix 22842

             Make h2ph able to understand a limited set of inline functions.

             instead of plain old macros.

             It seems daft to me that we have a synopis example that will fail if
             gcc happened to be invoked via the name cc, and completely ignores
             the far more reliable 'gccversion' variable
             So here's one using 'usethreads' that ought to work everywhere.
