This is a known issue on Win32 that the MakeMaker people and the
Module Build people are aware of.

I've produced a patch for the install behaviour and I'm planning to
put together a patch for the uninstall behaviour Real Soon Now. Ive
also volunteered to maintain a new distro which would be split out of
the MakeMaker distro so that people can upgrade the install behaviour
without upgrading the whole MakeMaker package.

Randy Sims put together an initial version of this package including
the install patch at

Cheers,
Yves
