x-to-1: honor $PERL * build-aux/x-to-1.in: Run $HELP2MAN via $PERL so that the user gets a chance to use his preferred version of Perl. This is typically required by Darwin users whose default /usr/bin/perl does not have all the libraries required by help2man, and who need to use their MacPorts installation of Perl instead.
