i see. that's quite reasonable.  :) but how about sprintf()'ing so it reads
0.003 => 0.011, or just using the v0.3.11 notation?

i'm using perforce, and have no idea about cvs. :)

as the sidekick script utilizes plenty of CPAN.pm function, how about 
abstract it to a module named CPAN::SDK, and work toward an integration
with Bundle / MakeMaker so i could 'make sdk' or query SDKs from cpan> prompt?
