@cygwin: About perl6-1.0, called rakudo-2009-03

I reworked the patch for make install and my rakudo package looks
almost sane now.
Attachment failed, so updated at
  http://code.google.com/p/cygwin-rurban/source/browse/#svn/trunk/release/p=
arrot
rakudo-2009-03-1.src.patch

The package can still not be released though.
cygwin-1.7 recently changed the symlinks to use wchar and I need to update
the dependent packages first,
gcc-4 is still experimental,
the perl6 symlink needs to be checked at install-time (for a possible
conflict with pugs),
cygport has a minor doc_dir bug with the strange package name rakudo-2009-0=
3,
leading to /usr/share/doc/rakudo-2009 and not rakudo-2009-03.
I might be tempted to use rakudo-200903 as package name.

--install links to install_config.o in contrast to parrot_config.o,
so we use the config hash from the installed parrot, with the correct
library paths.

I also get lots of spectest failures of 2009-03 with parrot-1.0.0.
See http://code.google.com/p/cygwin-rurban/source/browse/#svn/trunk/release=
/parrot/CYGWIN-PATCHES/rakudo-2009-03-1-check.log.gz

I assume 2009-03 is targetting a newer parrot than 1.0.0,
which is unfortunate for a quasi perl6-1.0 release.
