[ANNOUNCE] ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.37_02

6.37_01 did a refactoring which broke XS building, this release fixes it.
Thanks to Andreas for catching that.

MakeMaker has never had tests for XS builds because of difficulty detecting
the existence of a working compiler.  t/xs.t has been there for a while just
checking for a compiler.  I've finally added in a basic XS build test on top
of that.

6.37_01  Sun Nov 25 17:05:53 PST 2007
    Improvements
    - Upgraded the META.yml to version 1.3 of the spec (which really
      doesn't change anything).  Thanks bdfoy.
    - MakeMaker now always includes the required 'author' field in
      the META.yml even if it's undef to comply with the META.yml spec.
    - Updated ExtUtils-Install to latest version (1.44)
    - Unified the version numbers of all modules.

    Test Fixes
    - cd() test on VMS used non-native paths. [bleadperl 31534]
    - Removed uses of "no_plan" in tests to remain compatible with
      old versions of Test::Harness.
    - writemakefile_args.t had the wrong test count if version.pm isn't
      installed.

    Bug Fixes
    - $VERSION detection code would be confused by "sub version"
      [rt.cpan.org 30747]
    - LINKTYPE=static will now be propagated to child builds.
      [bleadperl 31761]

    Portability Fixes
    - Add "dragonfly" to the list of BSDish operating systems
    - BSD detection code would not pick up bsdos or internix
    - Fix detection of shared libperl on NetBSD [bleadperl 31526]
