 Hi Dan,

 today I revisited enc2xs and found three things missing:

Okay

 - enc2xs doesn't write a MANIFEST file: this would be handy as the
   innocent user doesn't know which files need to be included in a
   distribution

I reckon your suggestion is to 'let enc2xs generate any missing files 
that are enough to CPANize the encoding'.  is there any other file 
missing?  MANIFEST autogeneration is trivial but I still prefer 'make 
manifest'

 - no -h or --help option

I'm not sure enc2xs be used frequently enough to call for the need for 
-h but there is no reason not to add one.  Maybe detailed info on -M and 
very, very brief description on -o and such that are not supposed to be 
invoked by human (even I don't do that except for debugging).

 - no -v or --version option

This should return the version of Encode.pm as well as enc2xs itself.

 I'd volunteer to add all that if you'd be inclined to accept (and
 proofread) it. Please let me know what you think.

I am glad you help me out (well, your trust level is so high that you 
can do all the work and all I do is put your new version to my 
repository -- and claim the credit (c) ams).

But I am not so happy if enc2xs becomes behemoth like h2xs.  Man, I 
thought I had soothed all the feeping creaturism before the release of 
5.8.0
