ANNOUNCE: Params::Validate 0.60

Since Mason uses Params::Validate extensively, I figure this is worth
announcing here.  This is primarily a bugfix release for 5.6.x Perl users,
and they are encouraged to upgrade.  If you're using a 5.00503 or 5.8.0,
there's probably no reason to upgrade at the moment.

The segfault bug was pretty rare, so most 5.6.x users probably didn't see
any problems, but according to Ken Williams, this can affect Mason under
some circumstances.


0.60

- Fixed a weird segfault that could occur with Perl 5.6.1 when a
user-defined on_fail callback died with an object as its argument.
This only happened with the XS version of the code.  Reported by Ken
Williams.

The end result is that the version of the XS code that is used with
Perl 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 is slightly slower than that used with 5.00503 or
5.8.0, as it requires an additional Perl-level wrapper.

- Use XSLoader in preference to Dynaloader with Perl 5.6.0+.
