+ - ExtUtils::MM_Any->test_via_harness() now using -MExtUtils::testlib
+ instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but
+ it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic.
+ - PERLRUN now uses FULLPERL instead of PERL. This avoids
+ accidental use of miniperl. May cause problems in the core.
+ - Fixed test_via_harness() on VMS so it uses PERLRUN.
+ - ExtUtils::Manifest wrongly handling MANIFEST on VMS.

+ - Broke ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid out into its own .pm. Temporary.
+ - Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary.
+ - Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95
+ is now an MM_Win32 subclass.
+ - Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were
+ defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec
+ - Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03
+ backporting
+ - Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_*
+ modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)"
+ - All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix.
+ They did this before, but in a round-about way.
+ - MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead
+ @MM::ISA does that itself.
+ - Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules.
+ - MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have
+ explicitly required MM_Unix.
+ - Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now
+ a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted.
+ - Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir
+ with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster.
+ - Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs.
+ - "Which MM subclass should I use" logic moved from EU::MakeMaker
+ to EU::MM.
+ - Deprecated EU::MakeMaker::Version_check deleted.
