   This seems to work (with the associated changes to various
VMS-specific files in the "vms" and "vmslib" subdirectories:

   I thought about trying to hide this stuff in some VMS-specific place,
to avoid adding VMS-specific clutter in the main thing, but it made more
sense to me to set opt.batch this way, in the same neighborhood as the
normal opt.xxxx-setting code.

   Comments welcome, as usual.
