h2xs for module creation needs to die along with MakeMaker ;)

I think Ken did this cause it's easy ;)

Seriously, I'm sure he'd welcome support for alternate layouts.  By
default, I think it should look in lib/ and then the current directory for
.pm and .pod files.  With MakeMaker, there's also a way to map a different
layout to the installation layout, using the PM option.  I'm not sure this
is really worthwhile, though.
