I forgot all about PACK###.  I'm not even sure what it does, let's see...

Oh, ok.  The PACK### are just a subclass of MM which mixes in all the user
added methods from MY and that's the class of the real MakeMaker object, not
MM.  Each call to ExtUtils::MakeMaker->new generates a new PACK###
class/object and redoes the mixin.  I've updated the notes.

I know I'd figured out at some point why PACK### used MY as a mixin rather
than a superclass, but I can't remember now.
