This makes it so you no longer must edit the Makefile.PL every time you add, rename or delete a Perl module. This is convenient, and I'm about to extract a bunch of .pm files out of git-svn.

You still have to edit the Makefile. That parallel build system should be able to be removed at a later date and replaced with the right Makefile.PL flags.

Patch 1 and 2 are just things I noticed in the Makefile.PL along the way. Patch 3 is the meat. It doesn't depend on 1 & 2 but I figured it would be silly to send them separately.
