| Hey,
|=20
| Any outstanding issues before I release 0.22 to CPAN?  If there's still a
| significant CVS lag, here's the list of changes since the last beta:
|=20
|=20
|   - When building a 'traditional' Makefile.PL with
|     Module::Build::Compat, we now use 'VERSION_FROM' when possible,
|     rather than always using 'VERSION'.  This way the Makefile.PL
|     doesn't have to get modified every release.
|=20
|   - Made some fixups to the 'PPM' info-file that improve compatibility
|     with ActiveState's PPM tools. [Randy Sims, Glenn Linderman]
|=20
|   - The 'dist_author' property can now accept multiple authors, see the
|     docs for more info. [Randy Sims]
|=20
|   - If the user doesn't have YAML.pm installed during ACTION_dist, we
|     now create a minimal YAML.pm anyway, without any dependency
|     information.
|=20
|   - The 'distribution_type' field is no longer created in META.yml
|     files, in accordance with the finding made at the London CLPAN
|     meeting that it's essentially meaningless and ill-defined.
|=20
|=20
| Versions 0.21_01 and 0.21_02 had significant bug fixes, particularly for
| the Windows crowd, so I'd like to get 0.22 out as soon as it makes sense.

I was on my way updating the FreeBSD's port to 0.22 and I ran into a
problem, Module::Build now needed gmake to build, now, I know, gmake should
be installed on almost every FreeBSD system, but well, why bother when only
a one line patch like can have make work instead :

now, I'm not a great make expert, and I don't really know why this "@" was
there anyway, but with, it only works with gmake, and without, it works
with our make, so...

If I'm doing anything stupid with this patch, please, let me know :)
