fix for [perl #66108] Leaked scalars

@DB::args is a hack: it gets set with non-refcounted aliases of the
caller's @_ elements.

Once the sub that ran caller() has exited, @DB::args will contain garbage:
elements will be SVs that have been freed, re-assigned etc.

So as a minimum, when cloning an interpreter, skip cloning @DB::args.

Correct errors in the use of multiple targets, which could break parallel make.

Where a single script (or program) generates multiple files, the Makefile rule
was written with those multiple files as targets on the same line. This would
be correct if that syntax meant "these $n things are built by these commands".

However it doesn't - it means "to build any of these targets, run these
commands", and hence to run them once for each of the targets. This can result
in race conditions with parallel makes, with files being trampled on and
strange failure modes.

Hence the correct style is to give one of the targets on the rule, and rules
that make all the other targets that are generated depend on that target.

hotfix CPAN.pm to force only ftp URLs

CPAN::FTP has problems with curl and other command line
programs.  Having mirror autoconfig prefer http URLs was
triggering these bugs for any bootstrap installation without
LWP.

This hotfix forces only ftp URLs from autoconfig which
hides the problem for now until CPAN::FTP can be fixed
upstream.

Updated Module::Build to 0.36

0.36 - Sun Dec 20 15:02:38 EST 2009

No changes from 0.35_15 other than the version number.

Summary of major changes since 0.35:

 Enhancements:

 - Added 'Build installdeps' action to install needed dependencies via
   a user-configurable command line program.  (Defaults to 'cpan'.)

 - Command line options may be set via the PERL_MB_OPT environment
   variable (similar to PERL_MM_OPT in ExtUtils::MakeMaker)

 - Generates MYMETA.yml during Build.PL (new standard protocol for
   communicating configuration results between toolchain components)

 - Reduced amount of console output under normal operation (use --verbose
   to see all output)

 - Added experimental inc/ bundling; see Module::Build::Bundling for
   details.

 New or changed properties:

 - Added 'share_dir' property to provide File::ShareDir support;
   File::ShareDir automatically added to 'requires' if 'share_dir' is set

 - Added 'needs_compiler' property.  Defaults to true if XS or c_source
   exist.  If true, ExtUtils::CBuilder is also added to build_requires.

 - 'C_support' is no longer an optional feature.  Modern ExtUtils::CBuilder
   and ExtUtils::ParseXS added to the 'requires' list.  This ensures that
   upgrading Module::Build will upgrade these critical modules.

 - Clarified that 'apache' in the license attribute indicates the Apache
   License 2.0 and added 'apache_1_1' for the older version of the license
   (RT#50614)

 Deprecations:

 - Module::Build::Compat 'passthrough' style has been deprecated.  Using
   'passthrough' will issue warnings on Makefile.PL generation.  See
   Module::Build::Compat documentation for rationale.

 Internals:

 - Replaced use of YAML.pm with YAML::Tiny; Module::Build::YAML is now
   based on YAML::Tiny as well

 - A new get_metadata() method has been added as a simpler wrapper around
   the old, kludgy prepare_metadata() API.

 - Replaced guts of new_from_context().  Build.PL is now executed in a
   separate process before resume() is called.  (This is generally only of
   interest to Module::Build or toolchain developers) (RT#49350)

 - Add support for 'package NAME VERSION' syntax added in Perl 5.11.1

 Notable bug fixes:

 - The "test" action now dies when using the 'use_tap_harness'
   option and tests fail, matching the behavior under Test::Harness.
   (RT#49080) [initial patch from David Wheeler; revised by David Golden]

 - Updated PPM generation to PPM v4 (RT#49600) [Olivier Mengue]

 - When module_name is not supplied, no packlist was being written; fixed
   by guessing module_name from dist_version_from or the directory name
   (just like ExtUtils::Manifest does without NAME) [David Golden]

 - Failure to detect a compiler will now warn during Build.PL and be a
   fatal error when trying to compile during Build. (RT#48918) [David
   Golden]

 - Auto-detection of abstract and author fixed for mixed-case POD headers
   (RT#51117) [David Wheeler]

 - resume() was not restoring additions to @INC added in Build.PL
   (RT#50145) [David Golden]

 - When tarball paths are less than 100 characters, disables 'prefix'
   mode of Archive::Tar for maximum compatibility (RT#50571) [David Golden]

 - Merging 'requires' and 'build_requires' in Module::Build::Compat could
   lead to duplicate PREREQ_PM entries; now the highest version is used
   for PREREQ_PM. (RT#50948) [David Golden]

 - Module::Build::Compat will now die with an error if advanced,
   non-numeric prerequisites are given, as these are not supported by
   ExtUtils::MakeMaker in PREREQ_PM [David Golden]
