Or do I have to "make ppd3"?

As Randy said, the architecture specification has a "-5.8" appended to it. But the 'codebase href' requirement seems also to have changed. Instead of just providing the "some-package.ppd" (which, under ppm2, was all that was required) they are now giving "MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8/some-package.ppd". I'm not sure if/how that relates to the ppm3 problem you're facing with 5.6. Anyway, I'd start by looking at the ppd in one of those 8xx zips and see if that helps solve the problem.
