Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

The 'prefork' pragma is intended to allow module writers to optimise module loading for *both* scenarios with as little additional code as possible. prefork.pm is intended to serve as a central and optional marshalling point for state detection (are we running in compile-time or run-time mode) and to act as a relatively light-weight module loader.
