Hrm, I have the latest released version of Devel::PPPort, 3.19. I went
poking around and found the have a newer "developer" release (3.19_03)
at http://search.cpan.org/~mhx/Devel-PPPort-3.19_03/ (released
2011-04-13). I see a few things for 5.14 but nothing about GvCV_set.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I'm just diffing its ppport.h with
ours. For the curious its attached.
