Releasing Version 0.14-alpha. Nearly everything has been rewritten. Too numerous changes to remember. This version is shell oriented not batch oriented. Batches should be possible though.

Dropped the recommendation to install LWP, dropped the dependance on LWP completely for UNIX systems.

Introduced CPAN::Config->{keep_source_where} as a pointer to the directory where we store the fetched sources locally.

Introduced CPAN::Config->{makeplarg}, arguments to the '$^X Makefile.PL' call.

Check for Net::FTP even when LWP is available.

Remove the lockfile in a signal handler.

Motherhoodified the pod section ;-)
