Title: Added failing test for pack/unpack of $$

I've added a failing test case for serialization/deserialization of the special $$ (pid) variable in perl.

For some reason it gets clobbered when going through the most basic round-trip.

PS: This was run against the released CPAN version (0.41), not the current git master. The reason for this was that I couldn't install Module::Install::XSUtil on perl 5.16.0 built with ithreads (via perlbrew), it was just hanging when trying to execute t/01_example in its test suite. Trying to force install didn't help. I guess this should probably be reported in Module::Install::XSUtil bug tracker.
