This is an interesting question, because it explains why perl 1 is so small
in relation to perl 5 where MakeMaker sprang into existence.  perl 1 comes
with version -4.97 of MakeMaker meaning it actually *negates code* in
the core of Perl.  If we were to somehow backport MakeMaker 6.12 to
Perl 1, it would become much larger than the mere size of MM 6.12 + Perl 1
because of this negated code coming back into existence.

Get it?
