    VMS: add a note about DECC$* logical names
    
    These logical names are used to make the C RTL change certain
    behaviors, sometimes to make it act more like Unix.  While they can
    make life easier in some cases, they can be disruptive as well.  When
    building and testing OpenSSL, the latter is the case, so we ask people
    to avoid using them.
