I am probably going to have to have multiple collections for the same 
perl version - we have some systems that use a threadless build of perl, 
so we may end up with perl514, perl514tl, perl516, perl516tl, etc.  I 
was wondering whether there should be a "meta-meta" build package to 
contain these files, as the file content now seems to be scl package 
independent.
