I think these patches look fine, and as the perl58 maintainer, I don't
have any problem with incorporating most of these changes.  However,
I think the header on the hints/dragonfly.sh file should not list all
of the other authors and history, and instead just list you as the
author and current maintainer.  Would it be okay if I made that change?
I typically feed back these changes to Perl.org over time, so these
changes should eventually be reflected in a later release of Perl.
