This kit was generated on a freshly installed Fedora 22 system. The most recent 
version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker available (7.04) was installed. However, this 
setup does not generate META.* files.

It turns out that EU::MM requires CPAN::Meta to generate these files. If 
CPAN::Meta is not installed, EU::MM silently(!) skips generating these files.

However, EM::MM documents CPAN::Meta as optional, and therefore the Fedora 
package maintainer sees no reason to add it as a requirement for the EU::MM 
package.
