Agreed.  In any case Scalar::Util has pure perl blessed, so the
breakage they'd be dealing with is just relatively meaningless
Dynaloader test failure if they did it again with the new perl, right?

Attached is a new patch based on Joshua's comments which also fixes up
the Dynaloader test breakage by just adding List::Util as one of the
things it tests loading.
