-DPERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT horks everything

["Jeffrey W. Baker" <jw...@acm.org>]

Building Perl 5.6 with -DPERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT breaks just about every
program that uses the Perl C API.  DBI, Storable mod_include, and mod_perl
1.23 are all unable to compile with this build flag.  Bummer.

I skimmed perldelta and perlguts to see what was what.  It was pretty easy
to fix Storable by adding dTHX wherever the compiler complained about
my_perl being undefined.  But the way I read perlguts, couldn't we build
perl without -DPERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT and just #define it in the mod_perl 2.0
sources?  That way, we could have an efficient mod_perl, but not have to
hack on every module in CPAN.

I think.

i hate to see you suffer this pain, when the proper fix was posted to p5p
on friday (see patches/no_get_context.pat) and modperl-2.0/00README_FIRST
no longer suggests building Perl with -DPERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT
