As you may have seen, I jumped the gun and have merged it into trunk.
Partly because it passed tests on Win32, and partly because it unblocks
some things seemingly unrelated that I want to fix (in Config, DynaLoader
and XSLoader).
Forewarned is forearmed - to my mind the next logical thing is to migrate
building of CPAN-supplied "scripts" from utils/*.PL into their cpan/ (etc)
builds. Currently I can see that (say) utils/cpan.PL extracts to cpan.com
on VMS. Does MakeMaker do the same thing - does building from the CPAN
source tarball generate [blib.scripts]cpan.com ? Or does it generate
[blib.scripts]cpan ?
