Subject: Emulate dir_target() with blibdirs
A handful of modules are using dir_target(). Tk, libwin32, DBD::Oracle and a smattering of cargo-culted Tk and Win32 modules. Most of these uses are probably unnecessary since pm_to_blib() will generate the INST_ directory for you and has for quite some time. I've contacted the authors to see if they can just remove their uses of dir_target(). If not I'll have to hack something up with blibdirs but it'll never work 100% because the .exists files people used to depend on are gone.
