Good. Please make sure you re-run the cpan-testers stuff, otherwise I get a
FAIL on search.cpan.org, which is what I'm trying to avoid.

Using ExtUtils::AutoInstall is a real pain for smaller modules. I'm using it
in the CVS HEAD of AxKit, but I'm not about to use it in anything smaller due
to it not being a core module. CPANPLUS is obviously broken somewhere, as the
right PREREQ_PM is *obviously* there.
