Hmmm.  Throw in a way to include the default MANIFEST.SKIP and you'll
have yourself a winner.


If thedefault M.S changes, though, I wouldn't want to auto-update.  
Too much potential for hey, where did my files go?.

I *really* want to get them kicked out of MakeMaker before folks start to
fork.  Its just... tricky.  Fortunately the latest alpha has the necessary
tricks to make this possible.  Randy Kobes has stepped forward to take both
ExtUtils::Command and ExtUtils::Manifest and we're figuring out how to
hand off and coordinate releases.

 that acts like an #include, but actually inserts the contents of the 
 external file inline.  So when you run Build manifest it would turn 
 this line:
 
#!include /Users/ken/.manifest.skip
 
 into this chunk:
 
#!included /Users/ken/.manifest.skip
blah
blahh
blahhh
#!included
 
 And thereafter each time you run Build manifest it would re-sync the 
 chunk from the
 original file.
 
 Anyone see any problems?

PS  ExtUtils::Manifest is pretty much ready to be kicked out of MakeMaker
and maintained independently.  I'm more than happy to hand it off to 
someone.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
