6.37_01 did a refactoring which broke XS building, this release fixes it.
Thanks to Andreas for catching that.
MakeMaker has never had tests for XS builds because of difficulty detecting
the existence of a working compiler. t/xs.t has been there for a while just
checking for a compiler. I've finally added in a basic XS build test on top
of that.

6.37_01 Sun Nov 25 17:05:53 PST 2007
Improvements
- Upgraded the META.yml to version 1.3 of the spec (which really
doesn't change anything). Thanks bdfoy.
- MakeMaker now always includes the required 'author' field in
the META.yml even if it's undef to comply with the META.yml spec.
- Updated ExtUtils-Install to latest version (1.44)
- Unified the version numbers of all modules.
Test Fixes
- cd() test on VMS used non-native paths. [bleadperl 31534]
- Removed uses of "no_plan" in tests to remain compatible with
old versions of Test::Harness.
- writemakefile_args.t had the wrong test count if version.pm isn't
installed.
Bug Fixes
- $VERSION detection code would be confused by "sub version"
[rt.cpan.org 30747]
- LINKTYPE=static will now be propagated to child builds.
[bleadperl 31761]
Portability Fixes
- Add "dragonfly" to the list of BSDish operating systems
- BSD detection code would not pick up bsdos or internix
- Fix detection of shared libperl on NetBSD [bleadperl 31526]
