VMS: compensate for command line length limits with a logical name

Sometimes, you might end up with a rather long compile line due to
excessively long /INCLUDE directories.  Compensate for it by making
a temporary logical name with them and using said logical name as
/INCLUDE argument.

A note was added to NOTES.VMS regarding these limitations.

+ About MMS and DCL
+ -----------------
+
+ MMS has certain limitations when it comes to line length, and DCL has
+ certain limitations when it comes to total command length.  We do
+ what we can to mitigate, but there is the possibility that it's not
+ enough.  Should you run into issues, a very simple solution is to set
+ yourself up a few logical names for the directory trees you're going
