This release of MakeMaker contains two important fixes.
* The default MANIFEST.SKIP is now aware of Module::Build and will
automaticly avoid Build and _build files. This means "./Build manifest"
will now be useful.
* The max command length was set wrong for Windows XP using older versions
of nmake, such as the one you can download from Microsoft. This meant
larger modules like Regexp::Common would not build on XP. Its been
set to a more conservative number.
Jarkko, I'd rate that second fix as important enough for 5.8.1.

* Fixing the max exec length for Windows to account for old
versions of nmake (the one you can download for free from MS).
- Hack to normalize //foo//bar paths in ExtUtils::Installed.

* Adding Module::Build utility files to MANIFEST.SKIP
- PREREQ_PRINT is supposed to exit after dumping. (Wolfgang Friebel

- maniadd() was trying to open the MANIFEST even if it didn't need to
causing unnecessary errors for read-only MANIFESTs (rt.cpan.org 3180)

- Make FIXIN on Win32 use the new pl2bat rather than an already
installed one when building the core (Mattia Barbon)
