  1. Adjust configure to insist on Perl version >= 5.8.3.

  2. Further improve consistency of configure's program searching.

  3. Doc: specify that the minimum supported version of Perl is 5.8.3.

  4. Record full paths of programs sought by "configure".

  5. Abandon the use of Perl's Safe.pm to enforce restrictions in plperl, as it is
