I just released ExtUtils::Install 1.44 to CPAN.  This is an emergency release
which contains a single critical bug fix.
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28672

In short, 1.41_01 broke "make install" and "./Build install" would always try
to uninstall differing versions.  This is dangerous if you're installing
modules outside the normal system directory.  For example..

	perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/tmp   # install a module into temp
	make
	make test
	make install	# whoops, it just tried to uninstall the real version!

All users of ExtUtils::Install 1.42 and 1.43 are urged to immediately upgrade
to 1.44.
