Renaming the template file is not that easy as it is included in a list 
rule in mainMakefile.  A significant rewrite would be needed.

Therefore I have the prepare_vms.com handle both the ODS-5 (normal 
version) and the NFS mangled format for ODS-2 volumes.

Done.  No other formatting done to the file at this time.

prepare_vms.com just makes that config.h_vms file.

I had to modify the pipe command to fit the command line length 
restrictions of VAX/VMS 7.3.  EDT is not one of the utilities that has a 
problem reading from NFS files.
