Sorry, I neglected to post my slew of alternative links.

All tests OK here on Win32 using VC6/nmake, VC7/nmake, BCC/dmake and
GCC/dmake.
However, I'd like to propose that the attached patch gets slipped into
this release too. This patch removes the .SUFFIXES target from the
Makefile generated when using dmake. I'm going to release a new build
of dmake onto CPAN soon, and the latest version now issues a warning
like the following whenever it sees the .SUFFIXES target:
dmake: makefile: line 415: Warning: -- The .SUFFIXES target has no
special meaning and is deprecated.
As you can imagine, that makes quite a mess of various modules' build
and test processes unless we get rid of the needless .SUFFIXES target.
