I wavered a bit when working on the patch. I definately think that a PPD 
file should not be released without all of the above information. I 
guess the only concern I have is if a module does something abnormal 
like putting the pod in a separate pod file, so that M::B doesn't find 
the abstract; at least the author could manually fix the PPD file. But, 
maybe it should just die, and if anyone runs into anything reasonably 
abnormal we can make the appropriate change.
