Patch 0002 is my attempt at this. Not sure how portable this is. It's
also clunkier than before in that you need to tell it where to find
Catalog.pm, since it seems Perl won't compile unless "use lib" points
to a string and not an expression. Suggestions welcome. I also edited
the boilerplate comments.

If you're concerned about build speed, I think the generated *_d.h
headers cause a lot more files to be rebuilt than before. I'll think
about how to recover that.

Patch 0001
-moves the compile-time test into genbki.pl
-removes a usability quirk from unused_oids
-removes duplicate_oids (not sure if you intended this, but since
unused_oids has already been committed to report duplicates, we may as
well standardize on that) and cleans up after that fact
-updates the documentation.
