Okay, this answers my question. :)

I'm not sure.  I prefer not think of my fork as a fork, since the only
reason I'm making different version available is because whoever is
supposed to be maintainer is Missing In Action (which is as good a
reason as any for there to be a fork, I suppose).  I also don't have
CPAN access.  I'm not sure I really want to be a maintainer because I
know jack shit about this new build system (which seems to be getting
popular just as I was starting to understand the old build method).

Come to think of it, I kind of liked the old system because you could
abort it before building if you didn't have all the SDL library deps
installed that you wanted.

Andy.
