in reply to How to check for subroutine existence from within XS code

The following patch makes the tests pass, but please be cautioned that my XS-foo is *very* limited. The CvXSUB CvROOT stuff is stolen directly from dump.c of the 5.8.0 source, specifically the Perl_dump_sub routine at line 70.

Let me re-iterate. I'm no expert here. This just worked for me.
