When being too clever by half will bite you in the...

Just an FYI for EU::MM authors.  I resorted to an "interesting" 
procedure with the Makefile.PL for version.pm that goes like this:

1) Top level Makefile.PL ascertains whether we have access to a compiler 
to build the XS support for version objects (basically what is in v5.10.0);

2) If #1 is true, I create a new Makefile.PL in the vutil/ folder to 
build the XS code EU::MM style (the Build.PL does it differently).

HOWEVER, on very fast machines (like HP/UX on Itanium), the Makefile.PL 
and the resulting Makefile can have the same time (to the second):

which confuses 'make' to no end.  The addition of a sleep(1) after the 
Makefile.PL is written fixes the problem.

Arggghhhhh...
