Frankly, there are a lot of private, undocumented methods that I would  
like to see made public and documented. Just taking a quick look,  
these methods look to me like they'd be useful as public, override- 
able methods:

_backticks()
_pod_parse()
_write_data()
_enum_prereqs()
_home_dir()
_find_by_file_type()
_find_pods()
_add_to_manifest()
_do_in_dir()
_main_docfile()
_write_default_maniskip()
_files_in()
_read_manifest()
_resolve_module_versions()
_relpaths()

Some of these I've overridden, some I have not. Maybe some should stay  
private, but surely for others there's no harm in making them public,  
yes?

Best,

David
