Revision history for Devel-PPPort
3.52_04 - 2019-06-09
* Merge with cperl improvements:

support make --silent.
support devel VERSION with _
fix deps
sync embed.fnc with cperl core, with #ifdef USE_CPERL
sync parts with 5.30 updates
* Revert "Use latest blead embed.fnc"
It changed the meaning of several flags (n=>T, s=>S,M=>x,...) just for
some apidocs troubles which are easily solved otherwise.
It breaks backcompat, and breaks the equality of core embed.fnc.
