I though I relocated perlio-related test in them to t/perlio.t.  Is 
there any left?

That was my biggest concern.  So glad to hear that.

Applied, thanks.

I wonder if there is more sensible way to install NON-PM files to 
PERL5LIB.  For the time being it is at the mercy of MM.  Though not a 
show stopper I would like Encode to be as clean and standard-compliant 
as possible.  MM is so vast I don't even know how many more features are 
hidden...

Yes, please.  Emacs doesn't do spellcheck-as-you-type like recent 
mailers in MacOS and Windows :)  (I know you can spellcheck in Emacs but 
I am not sure if it is a good idea to to do so in .pm).
