http://github.com/schwern/extutils-makemaker/v6.53_03

This is a release to fix a few test bugs on Cygwin, Windows and OS X.  Its a
6.54 release candidate I'm hoping to get into 5.10.1.  In particular I need
more Windows testing.


6.53_03  Thu Jul  2 14:47:45 PDT 2009
    Bug Fixes
    * You'd get a warning if you had a PREREQ_PM on a module with no $VERSION
      like Config (broken in 6.51_01) [rt.cpan.org 47448]

    Test Fixes
    * Upgrade the version of Test::More we ship with to 0.88.
    * Fix MM_Cygwin.t for older Perls missing Cygwin::win_to_posix_path()
      broken in 6.53_01.
    * Fix miniperl.t for Windows.  Our method of shutting off XS didn't
      work for Win32.pm
* Old versions of version.pm, like what ships with OS X, dent Foo->VERSION
      causing prereq.t to fail.  [rt.cpan.org 47296]
    * Add missing core test boilerplates
      [blead e39d780342f3e91579069fdc80eda72bfe639ae7]


6.53_02  Sun Jun  7 19:24:56 PDT 2009
    Test Fixes
    * Stray use of Shell::Command broke older perls

    Other
    * MakeMaker will now automatically test itself with multiple
      perl versions before releasing.


6.53_01  Sun Jun  7 19:02:20 PDT 2009
    Bug Fixes
    * blib will now be rebuilt if the Makefile is changed
      [rt.cpan.org 46658]
    * 6.52 broke the setting of EXTRALIBS, LDLOADLIBS and BSLOADLIBS
      when $self->{LIBS}[0] is undefined.
      [rt.cpan.org 46633] (Craig Berry)

    Cygwin
    * Fixed MM_Cygwin.t when the path prefix (ie. cygdrive) has been
      changed by the user. [rt.cpan.org 46585] (JDHEDDEN)

    VMS
    * Removed attempts to compensate for the "bin" logical added
      by some versions of GNV, Craig says they're futile.
      Put a warning into the Makefile.PL instead.
      [rt.cpan.org 46679] (Craig Berry)
    * Removed the arch_check() special case for VMS.
      [rt.cpan.org 46678] (Craig Berry)

    Win32
    * Restore building the core by not trying to load the Win32
      module in arch_check() with miniperl.
      [rt.cpan.org 46667] (Max Maischein)

    Tests
    * Forgot to get rid of the tests for bytes and vmsish
      which were removed in 6.51_01.
    * Stopped running a Windows specific arch_check.t test
      on non-Windows. (Craig Berry)
      [rt.cpan.org 46678]


6.52  Sat May 30 11:22:04 PDT 2009
    Docs
    * Documented CONFIGURE_REQUIRES (Alexandr Ciornii)
    * Modernized the docs for PREREQ_PM

github gives me the unhappy kitten symbol on that one, but

<http://github.com/schwern/extutils-makemaker/tree/v6.53_03>

seems to do the trick.

All tests pass on VMS with a recent blead.  If it's not too
inconvenient, it might be nice to see a patch against blead soonish,
even if that means another patch with just version bumps a day or two
later.  I should know more about CPAN testers than I do, but my
impression is that the smoke reports at
<http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.daily-build.reports/> are the
best thing we've got for seeing what works where.
