3. Observation: 'make dist' creates the META.yml file *in the

Perl6-Say's sandbox. But when I unpacked the tarball, I found
META.yml in each -- and in a newer format than the older tarball.
So I conclude that at some point in the past I must have unpacked a
tarball into a sandbox, thereby depositing a META.yml file there.
Yeah, could be. The other possibility is that maybe old versions of
EU::MM used to create META.yml in the local directory, but now they
do it in the distdir. This scenario would explain things and also
allow you to believe in your sanity and nonselective memory. =)
