Richard Levitte 1935a5861c Rework the perl fallback functionality
The module with_fallback.pm was kind of clunky and required a transfer
module.  This change replaces if with a much more generic pragma type
module, which simply appends given directories to @INC (as opposed to
the 'lib' pragma, which prepends the directories to @INC).

This also supports having a file MODULES.txt with sub-directories to
modules.  This ensures that we don't have to spray individual module
paths throughout our perl code, but can have them collected in one
place.

(do note that there is a 'fallback' module on CPAN.  However, it isn't
part of the core perl, and it has no support the any MODULES.txt kind
of construct)

OpenSSL::fallback - push directories to the end of @INC at compile time
=cut
package OpenSSL::fallback;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Carp;
our $VERSION = '0.01';
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use OpenSSL::fallback LIST;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This small simple module simplifies the addition of fallback directories
in @INC at compile time.
It is used to add extra directories at the end of perl's search path so
that later "use" or "require" statements will find modules which are not
located on perl's default search path.
This is similar to L<lib>, except the paths are I<appended> to @INC rather
than prepended, thus allowing the use of a newer module on perl's default
search path if there is one.
=head1 CAVEAT
Just like with B<lib>, this only works with Unix filepaths.
Just like with L<lib>, this doesn't mean that it only works on Unix, but that
non-Unix users must first translate their file paths to Unix conventions.
# VMS users wanting to put [.my.stuff] into their @INC should write:
use fallback 'my/stuff';
=head1 NOTES
If you try to add a file to @INC as follows, you will be warned, and the file
will be ignored:
use fallback 'file.txt';
The sole exception is the file F<MODULES.txt>, which must contain a list of
sub-directories relative to the location of that F<MODULES.txt> file.
All these sub-directories will be appended to @INC.
