oraperl works with Oracle 7

A week or two back someone asked whether oraperl works with Oracle 7. (I can't find the original posting in comp.databases.*, maybe it was in comp.lang.perl?)

The answer is yes. I have been able to get oraperl (version 2, patch level 3) working with Oracle 7.0.12.1.1, on an NCR 3445 (SVR4, Intel platform). This is a production release of Oracle 7.

I had to fiddle a lot with the Makefile, some of it because of SVR4isms
(or maybe NCRisms), some of it because Oracle restructured the support
libraries for PRO*C, but it passes the admittedly simple 'make test'.
