Changes for version 1.00 - 2009-04-13
- POD cleanup
Changes for version 0.99_02
- use DynaLoader instead of XSLoader when the latter doesn't exist for better legacy compatibility (prefer XSLoader if available, though, as it uses less memory)
Changes for version 0.99_01
- fix Makefile.PL getcwd redefined warnings on pre 5.6 perls
- in Makefile.PL, never try to use Errno - just use POSIX qw(), since it's been in core since perl 5.
- use Getopt::Long to simplify Makefile.PL
- add experimental support for gcc w/ non-gcc perl on other (neither solaris nor hpux) OS's
- add support for overriding CFLAGS via Makefile.PL -cflags=...
- fix cc version display from info.t with perls built by !gcc
- tweak the format of the TESTING file
- add test cases: dragonflybsd, ia64/Intel CC with gcc perl
- better, cleaner detection and handling of the gcc compiler being used with a non-gcc perl case.
- silence warnings with old versions of MakeMaker related to LICENSE and NO_META not being understood
- fix a bug with the perl version info emitted from info.t
- add a configuration value want_pureperl which remembers if we want to use pureperl or XS. this fixes a problem with old/broken XS modules in the search path.
- support gcc with non-gcc perl on hpux
