After talking with Ken Williams a bit I've decided to kick as many
auxillary modules out of MakeMaker as possible and let them fend for 
themselves.  This will help... 

* spread out the MakeMaker maintenance load which I cannot deal with

* reduce their MakeMaker-centric nature to more easily allow other builders
  to use them (such as Module::Install and Module::Build)

* allow other modules to depend on upgraded versions without having to
  upgrade all of MakeMaker

* hopefully result in these modules actually getting maintained instead of
  langishing in the MakeMaker pit

The modules for sale are...

ExtUtils::Command
ExtUtils::Install
ExtUtils::Installed
ExtUtils::Manifest and lib/ExtUtils/MANIFEST.SKIP
ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap
ExtUtils::Mksymlists
ExtUtils::Packlist

The takeover procedure is posted on the wiki.
