Hmm, in [.ext.encode]descrip.mms, the target encode.c looks like this:
encode.c : $(XSUBPPDEPS)
Yup, nothing more. no actions. I tried looking in Makefile.PL what
could be wrong, but I'm a newbie when it comes to MakeMaker, so I will
need a hint at where to look...

Hmm, I had forgotten about /IDENT... Anyhow, running ANA/IMA in a
shell in an emacs buffer isn't very hard either :-)

I upgraded to 3.9-9 (that's the latest, it seems). No difference (and
considering the lack of action for building encode.c, I'm not
entirely surprised... :-).
