Subject: dualvar not available if not build as XS, but this is not documented
dualvar and set_prototype are not available if Scalar::Util is not build as XS. This limit is not documented. It also causes modules like IO::Socket::SSL to fail which expect dualvar to be available when Scalar::Util is available.

This bug still exists in 1.19 and quite a umber of modules fail misteriously with the non-XS version installed, like Compress::Zlib.

To make matters worse, the code that reports the failure is broken. sub export_fail depends on grep setting $1, but that does not happen -- on 5.8.8 at least.

added a note with the list; added a test to assert that the errors are raised (it passes) -- rjbs
