Odd: like re List?Util has a .pm component and an .xs component.
Unlike re it is not currently handled well (not hardly at all) by
win32/buildext.pl and win32/FindExt.pm.  A tweak to the Makefile that was
in the patch works around FindExt.pm's current "shortcomings".

I might very well be mistaken about re-packaging.  I thought that I had
glanced over some re-write comments made by Graham within the past two
weeks, but perhaps he was only referring to the regression tests and not
the module itself, or perhaps it was a figment of my caffeine deprived
imagination.

Executive summary: nevermind, move along, ... when tuits arrive (don't
hold your breathe :-) I'll see about a better implementation for ext/
building.
