This is how it used to be done, except it used to be done more elegantly
by always installing miniperl so that it is easy to exec.

Correction: this is not how it used to be done :-).  Anyone who wanted to
build perl outside of ``buildworld'' just had to run ``make''.  (This
depended on miniperl being installed by a previous run; you have to do
more, e.g. a full buildworld to bootstrap, just like for cc.) This is
normal behaviour.  The special cases for build-tools should only apply
if BOOTSTRAPPING is set.
