I just merged the sort-v-strings branch with master and published the
latest release of efs-perl to git.

This version will be a pre-requisite for the next update to efs-deploy
(which merges and eliminates efs-cpan, as well), so PLEASE if you have
ANY intention of ever upgrading to the latest efsdeploy, you need to
make upgrading efs-perl a higher priority.

The important changes in this release are:

[1] Removed the perl-core sudirectory, as perl5/core is now built
entirely from efsdeploy rules
[2] Removed the extra EFS-Perl subdirectory
[3] versioncmp now checks the pre-release metadata for the optional
sortorder, rather than assuming everything can be sorted with version
objects
[4] This version supports the new format for metadata.conf  (but will
still parse the old one of course)

Regarding [4], I've reworked the format of the metadata.conf files,
generated by the newer version of efsdeploy.conf.   The ONLY code I am
aware of that parses metadata.conf is EFS::Perl::Depends, and this is
why you MUST upgrade EPD *before* you attempt to install and use the
next major update to efsdeploy.

The most critical change is [3].   Now that the metadata.conf files
can specify the sortorder, we have a manageable way to deal with
things like HTML-Template (upgraded from 2.9 to 2.10, but 2.9 > 2.1).
