I'll investigate this.

This code hasn't been touched in over a year so I'm not going to worry about
it for this release.  Post it up on rt.cpan.org please.

PS  You're not actually using that, are you?

Yeah, it says that but neither MMS nor MMK have a problem with it as
evidenced by the realclean and clean targets.  However, when I changed it 
from "$(IGNORE)$(FOO)" to "$(IGNORE) $(FOO)" bsdmake broke.  What I have
now seems to work for everybody so I'm inclined to leave it.

Are you seeing problems?
