Blockers for 5.22.1

[Steve Hay via RT]

There is no ticket for it, but I'm just noting here (until new voting files are sorted out) that JDB has nominated

http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/16ac183d95cef3f9028737e9949a7e78a750c9fe

for inclusion in 5.22.1.

[Jarkko Hietaniemi via RT]

I'd like to note two INSTALL tweaks related to quadmath:

b7ce25dd7b9b021b485b5de41e6e19d6029ba22d
938039404b03b2d310c7f1c1b4e38c24ef441679

Some more commits of mine, doc-like:

23ce015ee1c88f507f078091298d020d5e22a300 - important Tolkien quote :-)
ec610f8a9f2738d8a59ee84a3ec7ed858addea85 - broken link
21ac16fed6668df441c18d5b3777df12ec41e0f8 - comment detypo
8757ed9b11519b7220e61e4765e36bd68345b6ec - comment cleanup
4943a717433fa4a342d031e05d80444da6cb0e11 - perlop on negative shiftees

Small code quality tweaks:

3c9658f5b74001ff66c07d06d2c7f2a0741bd160 - pacify gcc 5.1.0
976258ece432e47adaa13d955134a8972933bcca - pacify clang 3.7
d1992db059626dbd1b9a7e2cf67ef89e6428a9c0 - there really isn't SSize_t_size, never has been

The last one is possibly debatable since it has the chance of changing behavior...
