maint-5.8 used to be 6.03, the same as it was in 5.8.0, but just last week
I brought it up to 6.06_05 and last night again up to 6.10_02.  So
maint-5.8 contains the up to the spanking minute version of MakeMaker.

It would probably be easier for you to download the MakeMaker alpha off
of CPAN or take a snapshot off makemaker.org and test that as a seperate
module against MacPerl 5.8.0.  Less variables to deal with (ie. is perl
broken or MakeMaker) and much faster build/test turnaround time.
