Parrot on OpenBSD

[Pascal Stumpf]

Howdy!

I've been porting parrot 3.0.0 to OpenBSD. Build and regression test
work fine on amd64, i386 and macppc, but a few tests fail on sparc64:

http://rhaalovely.net/~landry/stuff/parrot-3.0.0-sparc64-regress
(thanks to Landry Breuil for providing that log)

The patches I had to apply were:
- An old patch to prevent linking with -lpthread
- One to fix the detection of perldoc
- One to fix building POD documentation as root (building ports is
  traditionally done as root).
Other than that, only patches required to customise the shared library
version.

Cheers,
Pascal
