 There is the notion that an SDK is a collection of versions of modules
 that are known to all work together.  A Bundle simply grabs the latest
 version of each, and it's possible a change in one might break the
 others.

as mentioned above, bundle lets you specify the exact distfile, and
in effect the version.

 No, it'll simply skip Test::More and move on to Test::Inline.

but a change in Test::More might break Test::Inline! :-p

...however it's up to Test::Inline's tests to find out. as CPAN does
not currently have a downgrade option, methinks this behaviour is
more or less correct.

 I was thinking just skipping MakeMaker entirely for that part and
 write a simple little custom Makefile.  The point being more to keep
 the familiar interface than to wedge it into MakeMaker.

very good point. i'd like to hack on it after a prototype's there. :)

Be sure to submit this to http://lists.cpan.org/submission.cgi  as well as
any others that might spring up as I don't often read every email and may
miss this sort of announcement.
