Cleaning out my inbox, I noticed a patch I dropped on the floor quite a
while ago. Seems sane. Comments?

Attached please find tarball with three patches:
Installed.pm.patch - to implement and document (POD) the above-mentioned functionality
Installed.t.patch - to test same
Changes.patch - to explain same.
Patch commands were
diff -U 3 origfile newfile | tee patchfile
Place the tarball in the same directory as ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05.tar.gz. Unwind. Patches will end up in the same directories as files to be patched.
Enjoy
