In the section of text you mention, I just added the following:

 Note that mk1mf.pl expects the platform to be the last argument
 on the command line, so 'debug' must appear before that, as all
 other options.

I hope that will do.

As for the POD files, I'll ponder a little more about your proposed 
change.
