-pm_apiversion (xs_apiversion.U):
- This variable contains the version of the oldest perl

- written for $pm_apiversion will still work for the current
- version). perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically
- search in $sitelib for older directories across major versions
- back to pm_apiversion. This is only useful if you have a perl
- library directory tree structured like the default one. The
- versioned site_perl library was introduced in 5.005, so that's
- the default setting for this variable. It's hard to imagine
- it changing before Perl6. It is included here for symmetry
- with xs_apiveprsion -- the searching algorithms will
- (presumably) be similar.
- See the INSTALL file for how this works.

+ made around the join point (removing "dir/../" pairs)
