Update the packages/vms/readme file to be current. Also some files for the GNV based build were either missing or needed an update. curl_crtl_init.c is a special file that is run before main() to set up the proper C runtime behavior. generate_vax_transfer.com generates the VAX transfer vector modules from the gnv_libcurl_symbols.opt file. gnv_conftest.c_first is a helper file needed for configure scripts to come up with the expected answers on VMS. gnv_libcurl_symbols.opt is the public symbols for the libcurl shared image. gnv_link_curl.com builds the shared libcurl image and rebuilds other programs to use it. macro32_exactcase.patch is a hack to make a local copy of the VMS Macro32 assembler case sensitive, which is needed to build the VAX transfer modules. report_openssl_version.c is a tool for help verify that the libcurl shared image is being built for a minium version of openssl.

PACKAGES
This directory and all its subdirectories are for special package
information, template, scripts and docs. The files herein should be of use for
those of you who want to package curl in a binary or source format using one
of those custom formats.
The hierarchy for these directories is something like this:
packages/[OS]/[FORMAT]/
Currently, we have Win32 and Linux for [OS]. There might be different formats
for the same OS so for Linux we have RPM as format.
We might need to add some differentiation for CPU as well, as there is
Linux-RPMs for several CPUs. However, it might not be necessary since the
packaging should be pretty much the same no matter what CPU that is used.
For each unique OS-FORMAT pair, there's a directory to "fill"! I'd like to
see a single README with as much details as possible, and then I'd like some
template files for the package process.
