Hi all,

It's been brought to my attention that our 'inc/latest.pm' might cause 
some confusion with:

  http://search.cpan.org/~andya/latest-0.02/lib/latest.pm

Particularly, if anyone wants to use that in their tests and is running 
through the Test::Harness API, we'll have potential confusion if 
they've also done:

  use lib 'inc';
  use latest "Module::Build";

in their Build.PL because of the old-fashioned @INC assumptions of 
Test::Harness.

So, I suggest that our lastest.pm API should probably change to 
something like:

  use inc::latest "Module::Build";
