I believe it is only used by PPM (the Perl Package Manager) to figure out
where to put the docs during a module installation.
I don't have time to investigate this right now, but I seriously doubt
that the docs in those packages are produced using MakeMaker; I believe it
is just some script that runs *after* "make test" that creates HTML docs
for everything found in blib that has POD.

That is fine by me. :) Note that my original patch is from back before I
joined ActiveState. The PPM repository was missing lots of modules and I
wanted MakeMaker to automatically update my HTML doc tree whenever I ran
"make install". Unfortunately I never got it to work reliably, so I kind
of gave up.
Sorry for not being more helpful, but it's been a long time...
