Emergency break fix for abs paths on *nix

Adds new method: File::Util::atomize() which explodes a fully-qualified
filename into it's root, path, and filename... which was necessary
to squish the long-standing bug in fully-qualified file names on
MS Windows... Also, the '--rpattern=^pat$' flag should works recursively
for you in File::Util::list_dir(), in order to provide you with patterns
that are applied at every level in your file tree, while preserving the
current behavior of the '--pattern=^pat$' flag, which is not applied
recursively. Another bug bites the dust.
Fixes CPAN RT# 46368 and 64775, respectively
Lots of code cleanup, and more documentation forthcoming in next release
will be here very soon, primarily to document the small additions here
and also to clean up the documentation itslef (particularly the code
examples which need style-fixes). This is a stable release.

Development release. BETA. Do not use for production! This release
introduces new code optimizations and extensive cleanup. The previously
required module Class::OOorNO has been removed from the prerequisites
and any methods that it exported are no longer available for import to
your namespace(s). This shouldn't be a problem though, because that
module was almost never used at all, and no one ever even knew you
could get its methods from File::Util anyway. Onward and upward, we're
inching slowly but surely toward 3.31 final.
There's been a lot of code refactoring and regex optimization. A lot
of planning and work will be going into 3.30, and this is the first
release candidate.

Development release. BETA. Do not use for production! This release
attempts to fix MS Windows-related problems, and introduces bugfixes
for CPAN RT# 46368 and 67399. As a result, the test suite has been
slightly improved (and will continue to improve).

Fixed bug where list_dir() did not continue to recurse if it encountered
an error while running with the --fatals-as-warning flag. If running
in default mode, it is normal behavior for File::Util to abort execution
on error, but when running with --fatals-as-warning flag, such errors
should not have caused recursion to fail. (CPAN RT# 52319)
Changed the brackets surrounding error messages to "<<" and ">>" so that
the glyphs display in most terminals.
Modified/updated documentation and test suite to accomodate these new
changes.

Adding a patch to fix breakage under Perl 5.17 (CPAN RT#31013)
Fix spelling error in documentation and code comments (CPAN RT# #64854)
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
File::Util provides a comprehensive toolbox of utilities to automate all
kinds of common tasks on file / directories. Its purpose is to do so in
the most portable manner possible so that users of this module won't have
to worry about whether their programs will work on other OSes and machines.
