I started this way, but the differences are annoying. So my idea is to support 
both versions a while with a patch. first working for 5.6.1 and a patch to 
support 5.8. in PageKit 1.12 then make 5.8 the default and have a patch for 
at least 5.6.1. Then maybe only 5.8.

Attached another try to support perl 5.8 propper. But now really untested ;-)
