Fix endless loop in Porting/makemeta.
File::Basename::dirname() returns the current device and directory on VMS when there is no directory information in the path (i.e., you ran out of directories), and the current device and directory are never ".". Now that we run makemeta in the test suite, the expectation that you always get "." was causing the test suite to hang in a CPU-bound loop.
