https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/tree/v6.57_08
This is release candidate 1 for ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.58 and hopefully will
make it into 5.14.0.
This release fixes an issue where MakeMaker would overwrite an installed XS
version of Scalar::Util with a reduced functionality pure Perl version. It
will now only install Scalar::Util if it is missing entirely. This fixes
issues with Compress::Zlib and breaking smokers.

VMS
* Removed dependency on cc_runtime.h for VMS as well.
Misc
* Changed how modules are bundled to avoid replacing XS version of
Scalar::Util with a pure Perl version [github #4]

Enhancements
* Generates META.json and MYMETA.json in addition to
META.yml and MYMETA.yml (David Golden)
* MYMETA has the runtime requirements made priority over META_*
keys to allow generation of a correct META.* into the dist while
still generating an accurate MYMETA.* locally (Matt S Trout)
* Distributions should not depend on cc_runtime.h from core as it is
only needed for B::CC
* Now uses CPAN::Meta to generate META files.
Bug Fixes
* MYMETA.yml generation from META.yml actually works (Matt S Trout)
* All required META fields are generated, even if they must be filled
with "unknown" in place of real data (David Golden)
Test Fixes
* miniperl.t is no longer run outside of the perl core. Its only relevant
to bleadperl and requires no backwards compatibility [rt.cpan.org 61868]
Cygwin
* Rebase behaviour was improved (Reini Urban)
* Build man pages (Reini Urban)
Win32
* Spot valid lib files on Win32 when .a and .lib are mixed.
(Christian Walde) [github #3]
* Extensive testing of ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid for Win32
(Christian Walde)
* Implemented proper emulation of DOS escaping rules in ExtUtils::MM_Win32
(Christian Walde)
