For those using CPAN::Reporter, please try out 1.1704.

Given ongoing issues with Devel::Autoflush, this version now limits its use
to *.PL time only, which is where the worst autoflush offenders are.  That
means that tests that were failing due to the unexpected presence of
PERL5OPT should start passing again.

I'm not very happy with the hacky way I've done it -- there's even more code
smell now -- but it avoids having to change the already tightly coupled code
in CPAN.pm itself.  But it's done and I hope it's the last I hear about
Devel::Autoflush.

That said, I'd appreciate if people could upgrade to 1.1704 and keep an eye
out for any problems.  If it proves out well over the space of a couple
weeks, then I'll bump the CPAN::Reporter minimum version in the CPAN Testers
Nagbot and see if we can urge everyone to upgrade into a newer, less
autoflush challenged world.
