Hi all,

I'm back from my honeymoon (I do highly recommend Belgium, if only for 
the beer, or the chocolate, or the wandering around), and starting to 
attack problems we set out way back at the CPLAN meeting.

I released a preliminary version of ExtUtils::CBuilder to CPAN.  It's 
intended to take all the c-compilation code out of Module::Build and 
stick it in a general-purpose c-compilation-for-perl-modules module.  
Theoretically MakeMaker could use it too, but I'm not sure whether 
that's a good idea or not.  If some of the Module::Build critics feel 
like creating their own systems, they'd get some leverage out of it, I 
guess.

I do still plan to work on the META.yml specification stuff that I said 
I'd do.
