tmpdir.c:path_search() v. VMS

   While trying to get Wget to work on VMS (again), I ran into a problem
with tmpdir.c:path_search().  The Wget maintainer denied responsibility,
and suggested that I direct my complaint here.

 }


   I assume that nothing's formatted correctly there, but if this (or
some comparably helpful change) could be slipped in, I'd be grateful. 

   I may check the archive from time to time, but I'm not a list
subscriber, so e-mail would be good if anyone has a question.
