Ok. You probably *don't* want to run the standard make file for creating a
package unless you want to do a fair bit of testing first. The big problem
is that all files tend to get installed in $site_perl which is probably not
what you want. In particular you really don't want to install LedgerSMB to
vendor perl at present.

Yeah. Currently our makefiles are generated by Module::Install, but it
might be largely compatible with ExtUtils::Makemaker. To be honest, I
haven't been that happy with Module::Install in the modules I have
published in CPAN, and it might be worth moving to ExtUtils::Makemaker.

We are really interested in more help with packaging. If there is anything
we can do to help please let us know.
I would suggest taking this discussion up on the -devel list as we can
avoid cluttering up the users list with development, packaging, and
translation issues.
